VILAMOURA, Portugal — The 2022 ESCRS Clinical Trends Survey showed increasing but still limited adoption of presbyopia-correcting and toric IOLs, with cost as the main barrier.
“Seven-year data trends show that since 2016, there has been an 8% point increase of cataract procedures involving toric IOLs, from 7% to 15%. Interestingly, if cost was not an issue, 36% of cataract patients with clinically significant astigmatism would receive a toric lens,” Rudy Nuijts, MD, PhD, said at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons winter meeting.
