AAO task force releases statement on adverse events for premium IOLs

An American Academy of Ophthalmology task force released a consensus statement on new definitions of adverse events for premium IOLs, including toric, accommodating, multifocal and phakic IOLs. The task force expanded the “historical control” publication of adverse events to accommodate the development of new premium IOLs, which may present additional adverse events compared with monofocal IOLs, according to the statement.
