New technology IOL optics
Abstract
There has been a rapid evolution in the field of intraocular lens (IOL) manufacture, much of it influenced by the development of microincision surgical techniques and wavefront aberrometry.Thi article discusses new technology that has been applied to modern IOL optics, including multifocal, toric, blue-blocker, accommodative, and aspheric IOLs; lenses designed to be inserted through sub 2-mm incisions; and an implantable telescope for macular degeneration.
