Article

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
