SING IMT in pseudophakic eyes: Results of the first experiences.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of implanting the Smaller-Incision New-Generation Implantable Miniature Telescope (SING IMT) in pseudophakic patients affected by late-stage dry AMD.

Subjects

Five pseudophakic patients' eyes with stable dry AMD were suitable for SING IMT implantation. Four eyes were excluded because of previous YAG laser capsulotomy. Patients underwent preoperative assessments, including visual acuity measurements and OCT scans.

Methods

Surgical procedures were performed under peribulbar anesthesia, with careful IOL removal and SING IMT implantation. Postoperative follow-up was conducted at regular intervals to monitor visual acuity, device positioning and complications.

Results

Postoperative outcomes demonstrated improvements i
