Abstract
Various ocular implants were suggested as a means of enhancing vision in patients with advanced age related macular degeneration. Recently, a new generation of implantable telescopes has been released. The purpose of this study is to report the surgical technique of implantation along with patient outcomes. This work focuses on the surgical technique. Crucial surgical steps are carefully reported along with discussion on main drawbacks and limitations. This approach uses a preloaded delivery system with improved features and requires a smaller incision. First patient outcomes are also reported. Surgical steps to implant this preloaded intraocular telescope are easier than previous versions, however this remains a complex procedure. Initial patient functional outcomes look promising.
