New phakic IOL offers solution for myopic presbyopes

LISBON, Portugal β€” A phakic posterior chamber IOL for presbyopia, now produced in Europe, shows favorable outcomes and offers a unique option to myopic presbyopes, according to one surgeon.
β€œThe EyePCL (EyeOL UK) is a true revolution. Companies have been trying for a long time to develop a phakic lens for presbyopia, and now we have it. It can be implanted through a 1.8-mm microincision, is available in a wide range of powers, up to –20 D, and includes the toric option,” Pavel Stodulka, MD, PhD, said at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting.
