Abstract
Purpose: This study assessed post-market clinical outcomes of the Clareon monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) preloaded in the AutonoMe Delivery System in a real-world setting of Korean patients. Methods: This prospective, multicenter, single-arm study in Korea was conducted from July 2020 to December 2021. Patients were [greater than or equal to] 20 years old with unilateral or bilateral cataracts who received Clareon IOLs (CNA0T0) preloaded in an automated injector system. Best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) were evaluated under photopic conditions. Surgeon delivery system preference was assessed using a survey questionnaire. Glistenings, surface haze, adverse events, posterior capsule opacification (PCO), and Nd:YAG capsulotomy rates were also assessed during the 12-month postoperative follow-up. Results: Mean [+ or -] SD monocular BCDVA was 0.02 [+ or -] 0.11 and 0.00 [+ or -] 0.10 logMAR at 1 month and 12 months, respectively. BCDVA of 0.2 logMAR or better was achieved by 94.4% and 99.1% of eyes at 1 month and 12 months after implantation, respectively. Mean monocular UCDVA was 0.11 [+ or -] 0.14 and 0.07 [+ or -] 0.13 logMAR at 1 month and 12 months, respectively. UCDVA of 0.3 logMAR or better was achieved by 97.4% of eyes at 12 months after implantation. Preparation of the automated injector system was rated as "very easy" or "easy" and CNA0T0 IOL delivery was rated as "very controllable" or "controllable" by all surgeons. Only grade 0 glistenings and no surface haze were observed during the 12-month follow-up. No clinically significant PCO or Nd:YAG capsulotomy were reported throughout the study; clinically nonsignificant PCO was reported in 23% of eyes. Conclusion: This 12-month real-world study of the CNA0T0 IOL and the automated injector system demonstrated excellent visual outcomes and high surgeon satisfaction.

Introduction Cataract surgery using phacoemulsification followed by intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the most common surgical procedure worldwide. (1) Monofocal IOLs are frequently implanted lenses because of their relatively low [...]
