SIFI Showcases Innovative Solutions at Major Congress
SIFI, a leading international ophthalmic company, is thrilled to announce its participation in a significant medical event where it will unveil two groundbreaking product innovations along with fresh scientific evidence. This event, the Congress of The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS), is a vital platform for discussing advancements in cataract and refractive surgery.
Transformative Products for Enhanced Patient Care
In line with its dedication to healthcare excellence, SIFI is introducing new technologies aimed at improving surgical outcomes. Maria Cristina Curatolo, SIFI's Executive Director of Innovation and Medical Science, highlights the integration of wavefront technology with ocular surface management, marking a significant advancement in refractive cataract procedures. These innovations are designed to help patients achieve better vision quality.
Revamped Intraocular Lens Innovations
SIFI will present an enhanced version of its EVOLUX extended monofocal intraocular lens (IOL), featuring upgraded delivery technology. This new design allows surgeons the flexibility to use either a push or screw technique during implantation, making the process more adaptable.
Next-Generation IOL Calculator
Additionally, SIFI will introduce a new IOL calculator that utilizes Hoffer QST and Næser-Savini formulas, significantly improving the accuracy of calculating both spherical and cylindrical lens powers, further enhanced by artificial intelligence applications.
Scientific Presentations Focus on Clinical Outcomes
The Congress will include five podium presentations and an equal number of e-Posters that delve into SIFI’s solutions for cataract surgery and ocular surface diseases. Among the topics presented will be the performance of the EVOLUX lens, the presbyopia-correcting WELL FUSION system, and the advantages of Eyestil SYNFO artificial tears.
Overview of Podium Sessions
On Sunday, a series of e-Poster presentations will explore various aspects of visual performance and patient satisfaction across different IOLs and treatments. Key studies include:
- Comparative studies on visual acuity with monofocal IOLs (Pagnacco C.)
- Research on preservative-free ophthalmic solutions for eye discomfort (Molero-Senosiain M.)
- Refractive outcomes from the use of enhanced monofocal lenses (Romualdi G.)
- Visual acuity evaluations of non-diffractive lens technologies (Rotter A.)
Details on Free Paper Session
A crucial free paper session is planned, focusing on a randomized clinical trial that compares the effectiveness of extended depth of focus IOLs with trifocal IOLs, offering insights into patient quality of life following surgery (Pagnacco C.).
Announcing the Satellite Symposium
Separately, SIFI is hosting a Satellite Symposium titled "Ultimate Vision: Mastering Sight with Wavefront Engineering and Innovative Ocular Surface Management." This event will feature leading experts discussing the latest advancements in the field.
Comprehensive e-Poster List
Alongside podium presentations, attendees can look forward to a diverse range of e-Posters, including research on:
- Outcomes of enhanced monofocal IOLs (Savini G.)
- Long-term visual performance of EVOLUX lenses after cataract surgery (Caparas V.)
- Comparative studies on advanced monofocal IOLs from SIFI (Gabri? K.)
- Insights into binocular vision impacts from various intraocular lens technologies (Castanera D.)
- Clinical validation concerning wavefront engineering technology (Vacalebre M.)
