The WIOL-CF Accommodative Intraocular Lens

A few years ago, the goal of cataract surgery was simply removal of an opaque crystalline lens. Nowadays, clear lens extraction is used in everyday clinical practice in order to correct refractive errors, especially presbyopia. Different intaocular lens (IOL) designs have been proposed, such as monofocal IOLs with monovision or multifocal IOLs. Accommodative IOLs are considered one of the greatest accomplishments in ophthalmology today. The WIOL-CF is an accommodative IOL with unique design and properties that guarantee excellent uncorrected vision at all distances, glare-free optics, position stability and posterior capsule opacification resistance. The WIOL-CF IOL can combine the advantages of other accommodative intraocular lenses regarding spectacle-free near vision, while at the same time its main technical parameters can overcome the major problems that other accommodative IOLs present.

Cataract Patients

Correction for presbyopia in cataract patients is a significant challenge for ophthalmologists and cataract surgeons, however, an increasingly diverse array of intraocular lenses (IOLs) that are capable of providing good quality near vision is available. Currently available synthetic lenses use different technologies to correct for presbyopia. The latest iterations of the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOLs combine an optic with a central apodized diffractive zone, a peripheral refractive zone, an aspheric anterior to combat corneal aberrations, and an ultraviolet (UV)- and blue-light filtering chromophore. The AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® IOLs provide excellent near vision restoration with increased spectacle independence and minimal severe side effects. As a result, it may represent a significant advance over other presbyopia-correcting technologies. IOLs such as the AcrySof® IQ ReSTOR® are increasingly replicating the full visual capabilities of the crystalline lens and are an important advancement in the treatment of presbyopia in cataract patients.

Introduction: Extension of electrocardiographic monitoring via loop recorder implantation may increase the diagnostic yield of syncope work-up. Aim: In this retrospective observational study, the authors wanted to evaluate the diagnostic performance of implantable loop recorder in the everyday clinical practice. Method: The authors analyzed the electronically stored data of all patients who underwent loop recorder implantation between 2005 and 2014 in their cardiology department because of recurrent syncope of undetermined origin. Results: There were 52 loop recorder implantations within the study period. During the 167 (±136) days of monitoring, 36 (69.2%) diagnostic events occurred. In two-thirds of events, (46.2% of all monitored patients) a specific arrhythmia diagnosis was reached, allowing definitive treatment in these cases. In this selected population, there was no correlation between age, presence of known high-risk predictors, or accompanying trauma, and the mechanism of syncope. Conclusions: The high diagnostic rate of implantable loop recorder in the everyday clinical practice is in accordance with the findings in prospective clinical studies. This observation supports the early application of loop recorder in the diagnostic algorithm of syncope. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(15), 609–613.
