Implantation of Small-Aperture Extended Depth-of-Focus IOL

Show Description +

This video shows laser-assisted cataract surgery with implantation of the AcuFocus IC-8 IOL, which is a single-piece aspheric lens (12.5 mm overall diameter) with an opaque annular mask embedded centrally into the 6-mm optic. Made of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and carbon nanoparticles, the mask is 5 μm thick, measures 3.23 mm in diameter, and has a 1.36 mm central aperture.
AcuFocus has obtained CE mark in the European Union for its IC-8 small-aperture extended depth-of-focus IOL. This IOL improves visual quality across a broad range for patients with presbyopia who undergo cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange.
