OSN Europe: Phakic lens offers new option for presbyopia correction
A novel posterior chamber phakic IOL may provide correction for presbyopia, as well as myopia and astigmatism. According to Luis Salvà Ladaria, MD, and Scott Anderson García, MD, ophthalmologists in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, it is “the missing link” within the options for presbyopia.“We have, alone or in combination, several laser options, refractive lensectomy, corneal inlays and even eye drops, but a phakic IOL had not yet been proposed,” Salvà said in an interview with Ocular Surgery News.
