BAUZA FORTUNATO, Yaumary et al. Premium intraocular lenses: an option or a need in modern cataract surgery?. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.2 Epub 30-Jul-2021. ISSN 1561-3070.
Cataract is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation is the standard surgical procedure most commonly used. Intraocular lenses are biocompatible material prosthesis that replace the human crystalline lens. They have been designed to limit higher order aberrations and improve vision quality, achieving emmetropia. Several generations of intraocular lenses have been developed so far with the purpose of improving their quality and providing patients with greater independence and excellent visual results for all distances after cataract surgery. Hence the motivation to conduct a search for a variety of published papers, with the purpose of characterizing the Premium intraocular lenses. Use was made of the Infomed platform, particularly the Virtual Health Library with all its search engines.
