Intensity Lenses Post Operation Standard of Care Visits - Data Collection.

Descripción detallada

Different multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) designs have been used for more than 25 years1. Unlike conventional mono focal intraocular lenses (IOLs), which bend light to a single focus point on the retina, MIOLs are designed to help patients to see at varying distances using different points of focus2. MIOLs used in clinical practice were either refractive initially, or later diffractive in their optical design. Refractive MIOLs incorporate a lens optic with different optical powers in different parts of the lens, while diffractive MIOLs use diffractive steps on the lens to distribute light rays into two or more principal foci. Irrespective of the design type, however, all MIOLs involve some form of optical compromise and a process of neuroadaptation for the patient. Intensity SL intraocular lenses (IOLs) represent the latest in premium lens technology. Intensity SL lenses provide clear vision at all distances - from near to far - thus offering the best chance of true spectacle independence. Despite the promising results obtained with the latest generation of MIOLs, many surgeons remain reluctant to implant these lenses. Visual symptoms such as glare and haloes, reduced contrast sensitivity and night vision problems are all known complications of multifocal implants and have served to hamper wider acceptance of these IOLs4. Hanita Lenses new Intensity IOL and Intensity Toric were been designed to have very high efficiency of light leading to a high MTF, wide focal ranges of far, intermediate and near vision and minimal loss of light energy. The main purpose of this study is to collect existing post-operative data based on standard of care follow up visits at the clinic.
