Efficacy and Safety of Next-Generation IOL in Cataract Surgery
A multicentre, randomised, double-masked study evaluating visual outcomes and patient satisfaction.
To evaluate the visual performance and safety of the next-generation intraocular lens over 12 months.
Randomised, double-masked trial across 12 sites. Patients assessed pre-operatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery.
Significantly improved visual outcomes with a favourable safety profile through 12 months.
Supports the use of this IOL to deliver consistently high-quality vision and patient satisfaction in routine cataract surgery.
Glaucoma Trial
IoES is home to the first phase 3 glaucoma trial ever performed in Ireland. IoES is among the first clinics in Europe to utilise a dropless glaucoma technology (treating glaucoma without using lifelong daily eye drops) that is fully licensed in the United States but currently available only on trial in Europe.
Cataract Surgery Clinical Trial
IoES has run several trials utilising the newest intraocular lens implant technology used in all cataract surgeries. Our surgeons advise companies manufacturing intra-ocular lenses on the design of their lenses.
Industry Leading Treatments for Ocular Surface Disoders
IoES ran the first dedicated ocular surface clinic treating dry eyes, meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis and has been nominated by Lumenis as their Irish reference site for their intense pulse light laser platform.
Firsts in The World
At IOES, we are proud to be at the forefront of eye surgery research and innovation, setting benchmarks in patient care.
