    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Traditional multiple component intraocular lenses (MC-IOLs) required a 7-mm incision for implantation.
    • A novel foldable version of the MC-IOL has been developed to enable smaller incision sizes.

    Observation:

    • The foldable MC-IOL was implanted in a 62-year-old female patient via a 2.8-mm incision during routine cataract surgery.
    • The lens components were assembled in-situ within the anterior chamber and capsular bag.

    Findings:

    • Six-week follow-up revealed 20/20 corrected vision with stable refraction.
    • The implanted MC-IOL was well-centered, demonstrating good lens-iris clearance.

    Implications:

    • The foldable MC-IOL can be inserted through a small, conventional cataract incision (< 3 mm).
    • This technology demonstrates feasibility for in-eye assembly and disassembly of IOL components with a short learning curve.
    • The foldable MC-IOL shows promise for improved patient outcomes in cataract surgery.
