Bilateral IC-8 implantation viable strategy for presbyopic patients

Bilateral implantation of small-aperture IOLs can be a successful strategy for presbyopia correction, according to a study.
To compare visual acuity after contralateral vs. bilateral implantation of the IC-8 IOL (AcuFocus) in cataract patients, Robert E. Ang, MD, of Asian Eye Institute, Philippines, implanted 10 patients bilaterally with the IC-8 and 10 patients monolaterally with the IC-8 in one eye and a monofocal IOL in the other.
At 12 months postoperatively, all 20 patients achieved 20/32 or better binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity and corrected distance visual acuity at all
