Asian Eye Institute refractive surgery director Dr. Robert Ang received the Best Paper of Session Award at the recently concluded Annual Meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
Held in Las Vegas, Nevada from July 23 to 27, 2021, the annual meeting served as a venue for ophthalmologists from different parts of the world to come together and share their knowledge on the latest surgical techniques and devices. Ophthalmologists submitted abstracts of their research projects for a chance to be selected and to present their work during the annual meeting.
Entitled Implantation of Small Aperture Intraocular Lens in Post-Refractive Surgery Eyes, Dr. Ang’s winning research paper showed that patients who previously had LASIK or PRK surgery enjoy clear vision after being implanted with an IC-8 intraocular lens during their cataract surgery. The IC-8 is a small aperture IOL produced by the American company Acufocus.
