SAN DIEGO — Incoming ASCRS president Nick Mamalis, MD, believes he knows what the next disruptive IOL technology will be: refractive indexing.
In a presentation at Refractive Subspecialty Day at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting, Mamalis said, “When you use what’s called refractive indexing, you can simultaneously build refractive change into an IOL itself.”
The laser-induced refractive index change technology is being tested for its ability to make refractive adjustments in corneas and contact lenses, as well as in IOLs.
