A New IOL Platform
Stabilens

In a recent experimental study published in the Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery (JCRS) researchers delved into the rotational dynamics of a new patented IOL platform featuring four haptics.
The study1, headed by Liliana Werner MD and Nick Mamalis MD, focused on the ease of rotation of the cutting-edge Stabilens IOL featuring four haptics, comparing it to a current market leading single-piece lens, the Alcon SN60WF with two open loops.
The new IOL platform showed greater rotational stability
Statistical analyses uncovered significant differences in the ease of rotation between Stabilens and the control lens across all tested scenarios. In its conclusion, the study noted that the new Stabilens IOL platform showed greater rotational stability than the control lens.
This groundbreaking research indicates that the new Stabilens IOL platform, boasting four small arcs of contact between the haptics and the bag equator, a distal bulge on each haptic, and arcuate haptics with curvatures oriented toward each other, surpasses the rotational stability of the Alcon control lens. These design features promise greatly improved rotational resistance, offering surgeons a more reliable option for addressing rotational stability concerns in cataract surgery.
The complete study is available in the March 2024, Volume 50, Issue 3 edition of Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery and on the JCRS website.
