Clinical Outcomes of Patients Bilaterally Implanted With the TECNIS® Symfony or TECNIS® Symfony Toric Extended Range of Vision IOL

After creating an initial side port incision with a 15-degree blade, 3-step clear corneal incisions were made using a 2.5 mm disposable metal blade. Sodium hyaluronate 1.0% (Healon; Abbott Medical Optics) was then injected into the anterior chamber. A continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis, measuring 5.5 mm in diameter, was generated using a 26 gauge bent needle. After hydrodissection, phacoemulsification was done to remove nuclear fragments and aspiration of residual cortex. In all eyes, a Symfony or Symfony toric IOL was implanted in the capsular bag using a disposable implantation system. Irrigation and aspiration were performed to minimize ophthalmic viscoelastic surgical device retention at the end of surgery. The main incision and side port were sealed with stromal hydration using a balanced salt solution.
