Cataract surgery and intraocular lenses
In a randomized trial of 142 patients, a 180-degree nuclear flip reduced total and effective phacoemulsification time in cataracts up to grade III.
doi: 10.1007/s40123-026-01435-9In a prospective single-center series of 88 eyes, the Clareon monofocal IOL produced good distance vision and predictable refraction, but follow-up was too short to assess late glistenings.
doi: 10.2147/OPTH.S625906In a prospective series of 115 eyes, typical angle-kappa and angle-alpha values showed no clinically important association with outcomes of a nondiffractive EDOF IOL at three months.
doi: 10.1186/s12886-026-04993-5In a post-hoc analysis of 226 eyes, Barrett Universal II and Kane produced lower absolute error after secondary sutureless intrascleral fixation of a one-piece IOL.

doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000001855In a 160-eye real-world series, the toric Eyhance corrected astigmatism and provided useful distance and intermediate vision, but 79% of assessed patients used reading glasses.
doi: 10.1055/a-2778-8543A meta-analysis of 12 comparative studies found that toric IOLs reduced residual cylinder and improved uncorrected distance vision in cataract patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism.
doi: 10.3389/fmed.2026.1777267A randomized trial compared bilateral EDF and monofocal IOL implantation: the extended-depth design improved intermediate and near vision and more often allowed near tasks without spectacles.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000001942In a 43-eye series, refraction after a new hydrophobic monofocal C-loop IOL shifted myopically during the first month, while accuracy improved substantially by week one.
doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000050119In 164 eyes longer than 26 mm, Barrett Universal II had the lowest mean absolute error but did not significantly outperform SRK/T or Haigis.
