Article Synopsis
- The study reports on the outcomes of implanting a supplementary Scharioth macula lens (SML) in one eye of pseudophakic patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
- It included 50 patients, all over 55 years old, and showed a significant improvement in near vision (CNVA) after the lens was implanted, with an increase from 0.23 to 0.57 (decimal) within one year.
- While the procedure was mostly safe, with only one case of postoperative glare, the overall distance vision (CDVA) remained stable, indicating that the SML is effective for improving near vision without adversely affecting distance vision.
