Shape-Changing IOL Shows Durability

Atia Vision reports positive 36-month data for its shape-changing IOL at ASCRS 2026

Category	Detail
Condition	Presbyopia and cataract requiring premium intraocular lens (IOL) implantation
Key Mechanisms	Two-part modular design with a fluid-filled, shape-changing base responding to natural accommodation and a front optic for refractive correction
Target Population	Patients undergoing cataract surgery seeking presbyopia correction
Care Setting	Surgical implantation in ophthalmology clinics and surgical centers

Sustained refractive stability within ±0.50 D spherical equivalent over 36 months
Continuous range of vision from distance through near with functional defocus range of ~5.0 D
Low complication rates with only one YAG capsulotomy and no lens exchanges or refractive enhancements

Consider investigational shape-changing, modular IOL designs like the OmniVu Lens System for accommodating vision correction
Monitor refractive outcomes and visual acuity post-implantation

Regular follow-up to evaluate manifest refraction spherical equivalent and refractive cylinder stability
Assess uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuities at distance, intermediate, and near
Monitor for posterior capsule opacification and need for YAG capsulotomy

Potential for posterior capsule opacification, though reduced by capsular-bag-filling design
Standard surgical risks associated with IOL implantation

19 patients (29 eyes) with monocular and binocular implantation in a prospective multicenter study

Demonstrated stable refractive outcomes and excellent visual acuity through 36 months with minimal adverse events

Utilize modular, shape-changing IOL designs to potentially enhance accommodative response and lens position stability
Conduct comprehensive visual acuity and refractive assessments over long-term follow-up
Educate patients on investigational status and expected outcomes of novel premium IOL technologies
