Cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the leading causes of blindness worldwide. The main symptoms of AMD are: a gradual decrease in visual acuity to the hundredth, metamorphosis, the appearance of a central scotoma, which reduces the quality of life of the patients and leads to disability. Prosthetic and stationary means of optical rehabilitation, such as magnifiers for the visually impaired, glasses, video systems are cumbersome and poorly functional. An alternative correction option is intraocular vision devices that improve the patient’s quality of life. The review considers various types of intraocular implants, in particular, the intraocular telescope system (intraocular miniature telescope-IMT, IOL-VIP, IOL-AMD), Fresnel lens, Lipschitz lens, Scharioth macular lens (Scharioth macula lens, SML), EyeMax Mono, LENTIS ® MAX IOL LS-313 MF80. The use of high-tech devices for the correction of visual disturbances in AMD has opened a new direction in the rehabilitation of low vision. Further study and implementation of the latest generation of “macular” lenses will improve the quality of life of patients with advanced stages of AMD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
