Clinical magnification and residual refraction after implantation of a double intraocular lens system in patients with macular degeneration

Abstract: Implantation of the double IOL system improved BCVA in patients with low vision due to advanced maculopathy. The results were best in myopic patients (long eyes); patients with hyperopia (short eyes) had high residual refraction. The postoperative clinical gain and residual refraction were predictable, showing the feasibility of implanting a customized double IOL.

“…They are formed by two intraocular lenses (with positive and negative dioptric power) implanted into the eye after cataract surgery [7][8][9][10][11], or using a single lens that contains two mirrors forming a Cassegrain telescope [12]. At least three of these devices are in clinical use today.…”

“…There are some concerns about the size and the surgical procedure to implant the device (it requires a 10 to 11 mm limbal incision [13]) but it is the only intraocular telescope that has received FDA approval. The Intraocular Lens for Visually Impaired People system (IOL VIP; Soleko, Pontecorvo, Italy) [9,10] is a telescope formed by two separate IOLs implanted in the anterior chamber and in the capsular bag. It achieves a nominal magnification of 1.3X and induces some prismatic effect to deviate the central field to a healthier location of the macula.…”

“…Research into systems for human vision enhancement is being stimulated by interest in high mobility on-demand magnification for military, sports, and low-vision applications. In an attempt to treat bilateral end-stage age-related macular degeneration, low-magnification refractive telescopes [1][2][3][4][5] and a two-mirror reflective Cassegrain telescope [6] have been successfully implanted into the posterior chamber of patients' eyes. These visual prosthetic devices do not provide active switching between enhanced and normal unmagnified vision and rely on the patient developing an adaptation strategy for volitional eye selection, a processes that can be trained through the use of polarizing test spectacles [1].…”
