Surgical microscopes have undergone significant changes over the past decade, moving from conventional optics toward digital platforms that redefine the boundaries of surgical visualization. My own transition from the ARTEVO® 800 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) to the ARTEVO® 850 microscope has provided a firsthand perspective on how these advancements translate into real-world clinical benefit—particularly in the management of vitreoretinal surgery.

In this insightful analysis, Dr. Joong Hun Kim presents real-world clinical outcomes with bilateral implantation of ZEISS AT ELANA 841P. Dr. Kim recommends AT ELANA® 841P as an excellent option for patients undergoing cataract surgery as its fully trifocal optical design translates into a full range of vision. He also introduces the so-called ‘ELISA’ approach for patients requiring astigmatic correction in one eye only, combining AT ELANA 841P and ZEISS AT LISA tri toric 939MP. Early objective and subjective clinical data from this novel approach reveal promising visual outcomes and high patient satisfaction
