Abstract Details

Purpose:

To compare corneal incision size before and after implantation of intraocular lens, behavior of the IOL and easiness of use between Clareon AutonoMe and UltraSert IQ delivery systems.

Setting:

Department of Ophthalmology at the II Faculty at the Medical University of Warsaw.

Methods:

Prospective, parallel group, randomized, post-market clinical study. Patients were signed up upon predetermined inclusion criteria. The effectiveness results compared corneal incision size and wound stretching after implantation of IOL. Exploratory results included control process of folding IOL, visibility of IOL in the delivery system,  easiness of positioning the frontal haptic in the lens capsule, utility of plunger tip and overall rating of simplicity to use.

Results:

Sixty eyes in two equal groups of 30 eyes were operated by five surgeons in the study . In both groups 2.2 mm knife was used for the first incision . Mean corneal incision before the IOL implantation was comparable between  the two preloaded systems and mean corneal incision after IOL implantation was slightly smaller for Clareon AutonoMe.

Conclusions:

Both preloaded delivery systems support smallest incision size and comparable wound stretching. Clareon AutonoMe had better visibility of the implant, it’s behavior was more predictable and  was easier to use compared to UltraSert.
