“…The implantation technique for this IOL is easier than that for previous IOLs through an incision smaller than 3.0 mm. The Lipshitz implantable miniaturized telescope (Visioncare Ophthalmic Technologies, Inc.) was introduced about 10 years ago, [7][8][9] and the concept of the mini telescope B (iolAMD, London Eye Hospital Pharma) was recently presented. The Lipshitz implantable miniaturized telescope requires a large incision of at least 8.0 mm and should be implanted in the capsular bag.…”

“…We believe that this method is a good choice and an alternative for patients having difficulties in using their telescope for distance acuity. [12][13][14][15] We observed an increase of best-corrected visual acuities of all patients, from the mean 1.86 log-MAR units pre-operatively, to 0.86 logMAR units post-operatively (p<0.05).…”

“…The AMD visual prosthetic device used in the prospective, multicenter IMT002 study (Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT) by Dr Isaac Lipshitz, VisionCare Ophthalmic Technologies, Saratoga, California, USA), was developed to reduce visual impairment due to bilateral end-stage AMD [10]. The prosthesis incorporates multiple ultra-precision, wide-angle micro-optics that function as a fixed-focus telephoto system together with the cornea (Fig.…”
