      NEW DESIGN FOR ACCOMMODATING IOLS

      A number of designs for accommodating intraocular lenses (IOLs) have been described. However, the degree of accommodation expected to result from current lenses available is usually no more than 1–1¼ dioptres. McLeod and coworkers describe a dual optic, single piece silicone IOL design, that is calculated to provide 2.2 dioptres of accommodation. The design has the potential to allow the extremes of distance and near focus characteristic of multifocal designs, but additionally should offer improved function at intermediate distance, and improved image quality at all object distances. In vivo studies of this lens in an animal model are in progress. See p 1083
