Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs) are standard for cataract surgery.
  • Small incision cataract surgery (SICS) necessitates refined IOL insertion techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent incremental advancements in foldable IOL insertion techniques and technology.
  • To discuss the impact of these advancements on SICS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on IOL insertion devices and techniques.
  • Analysis of innovations in lens folding, inserter design, and cartridge injectors.

Main Results:

  • Innovations in lens folders improve lens folding efficiency.
  • Downsized and enhanced inserters facilitate insertion through smaller incisions.
