Cataract Innovations

The evolution of latest cataract surgery can be seen as a long history of creative, sometimes iconoclastic innovation. In many cases this innovative process meets resistance from established authorities until the worth of a new idea can be proven to improve on existing procedures.

With 50 years of experience since the debut of phacoemulsification and small-incision IOLs, cataract surgery could be said to have reached maturity. Or is it entering another new era?“Currently, I do not see THE thundering miracle innovation – but I see a number of developments that I find interesting: refractive index manipulation, exchange of only an anterior part of an IOL for later adjustment, rhexis-fixated optics for precise and stable positioning of toric lenses – and, of course, the yet unfulfilled dream of an accommodating IOL. Progress happens incrementally. A big step in experience always is composed of many little steps,” Thomas Neuhann MD, Medical Director of the Laser Eye Centre, Munich, told EuroTimes.
