Clinical Evaluation of a Novel Preloaded Intraocular Lens Delivery System During Routine Cataract Surgery

AI Generated Summary*

A prospective, noncomparative, open-label, manufacturer-funded study at four Australian and New Zealand centers gathered surgeon and technician ratings of a preloaded delivery system, a disposable cartridge on a reusable titanium handpiece, for implanting a one-piece monofocal lens through 2.2 to 2.4 mm incisions. Five surgeons and 14 technicians rated 91 eyes; overall performance was judged acceptable in all, with 85.7% given the top score. Surgeons estimated mean savings of 54.9 seconds per case versus non-preloaded systems, although one site reported little benefit. Every lens was centered and correctly folded, and no ocular adverse events, haptic breakage, or lens marking were reported through the 1-day postoperative visit. Limitations noted include no control arm and reliance on questionnaires.
