A New Small-Aperture Device Implanted on Top of the Intraocular Lens: Safety, Feasibility, and First Clinical Results
This clinical feasibility trial demonstrates that the use of the new small-aperture device is both easy and safe. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported. All patients attained satisfactory distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity. The device shows significant potential when used in combination with different intraocular lenses (eg, toric). In the future, different opening shapes seem to be possible. <b>[<i>J Refract Surg</i>. 2024;40(9):e662-e666.]</b>.
