Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new multi-segmented refractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) after phacoemulsification and refractive lens exchange (RLE).
Patients And Methods: In this prospective, multicenter clinical trial, 63 presbyopic subjects who had cataract or where RLE candidates were bilaterally implanted with the Precizon Presbyopia IOL (Ophtec BV, Groningen, the Netherlands) after phacoemulsification. The study was conducted at 6 clinical centers in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey and Spain.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of basic eye exams for diabetic patients in primary healthcare settings.
- A sample of 712 type 2 diabetics underwent visual acuity tests, intraocular pressure checks, and non-mydriatic fundus photography, with referrals made to ophthalmologists based on findings.
- Results show a notable agreement between general practitioners and ophthalmologists in diagnosing eye conditions, although there was some over-diagnosis and unnecessary referrals by GPs, ultimately reducing the number of patients needing specialist referrals.
