Patients reported better visual function after surgery, yet results across 122 studies varied so widely that one pooled number is a poor forecast for an individual.
doi: 10.1016/j.jcjo.2026.07.001A systematic review of 74 optical studies shows that tolerance to decentration depends on IOL design, especially for aspheric and presbyopia-correcting optics.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000001950A meta-analysis of nine nonrandomized comparisons found no clear overall visual advantage for the newer platform, but cylinder correction was more accurate.
doi: 10.3389/fmed.2026.1899883A 631-eye meta-analysis found similar corrected acuity but different refractive and operative profiles for two secondary-IOL strategies.
doi: 10.1007/s00417-026-07263-8A meta-analysis of 10 studies and 57,564 eyes found no clear difference in macular edema, intraocular pressure or corrected vision.
doi: 10.1097/j.jcrs.0000000000002061Nine studies covering 1,187 eyes found similar visual and major safety outcomes, while toric ICL showed better rotational stability.
