Intraoperative Iridectomy in Femto-Laser Assisted Smaller-Incision New Generation Implantable Miniature Telescope.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In this study, we aimed to report the short-term (6 months) effects on visual functionality and safety of femto-laser assisted smaller-incision new-generation implantable miniature telescope (SING-IMT™) implanting, particularly related to postsurgical intraocular pressure increase, in patients suffering from end-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataract. This device, designed for monocular use, aims to minimise the impact of the central scotoma by projecting the images onto a larger area of the photoreceptors surrounding the macula.

Methods

In this prospective multicentric observational case series study, 6 eyes of 6 patients who underwent SING-IMT™ implantations were enrolled. At baseline and 6 months follow-up, best corrected distance visual acui
