Experience With Symfony Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOL: A Retrospective Chart Review

This was a retrospective chart review conducted at a single US clinical site. Chart review was conducted by John Odette, MD and research assistants. Eligible charts were identified via a clinic database search of cataract surgeries with IOL implantation of the Symfony IOL during the stated date range. Eligible charts included those of patients 18 to 90 years of age who underwent Femto Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) with implantation of a Symfony IOL. Charts were excluded for lack of postoperative follow-up or if Symfony IOL was not implanted. All qualifying patient charts were examined and further classified into 2 groups: (1) eyes with glaucoma; and 2) eyes without glaucoma. Visual acuity was evaluated for patients who underwent cataract surgery with implantation of the Symfony IOL from 09/1/2016 to 05/31/2018. Postoperative evaluations at Month 2 included mean monocular uncorrected visual acuity at near (UNVA) at 40 cm, far distance (UDVA) at 20 ft, and with best correction (CDVA). Outcomes were also compared for toric IOLs versus spherical IOL.
