Potential for achieving broader range of vision with a monofocal IOL – Preliminary findings in patients implanted with the ZEISS CT LUCIA 621P® IOL
By Florian Kretz, MD, and Sunil Shah, MD, PhD
As reported a year ago, results at the planned 3-month visit in a prospective study showed that the hydrophobic C-loop monofocal CT LUCIA 621P provided excellent functional results in a challenging cataract surgery mission population. In this Case of the Month, surgeon investigators Florian Kretz and Sunil Shah present subjective reports and defocus test results from patients seen after 12 to 14 months that indicate the potential for achieving a broader range of vision after implantation of the monofocal CT LUCIA 621P IOL if the refraction is slightly shifted in the myopic direction.
