EDOF IOL research
The use of monochromatic light in the assessment of intraocular lenses (IOLs) has been criticized in the past for not representing the real-world situation. In our in-vitro study, we aimed to measure and compare the image quality of three extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL models. The EDOF IOLs proved more tolerant to defocus than a standard monofocal IOL.

Reasons for explanting IOLs
Research team at the Apple Lab report on the demographic analysis, reasons for explantation, and material changes in intraocular lenses (IOLs) IOL opacification was the main cause for explanting in 153 (76.5%) cases. The second most common reason was IOL dislocation. Most explants were lenses from a single manufacturer.

Wolfgang Haigis: in memoriam
Wolfgang Haigis was a physicist at the University of Wurzburg. He was instrumental in developing a device (the IOL Master) that, together with his formula is responsible for the often excellent vision that patients today enjoy with the appropriate IOL almost immediately after surgery. "His death - way too early - is a huge loss for ophthalmology," says the DGII-President.
