At the ARVO meeting, Dr. George O. Waring IV discusses the Tecnis Odyssey’s tolerance to refractive error. A study conducted by Waring and colleagues showed that patients with refractive error had good visual and refractive performance with the Tecnis Odyssey IOL. In the presence of up to 0.5 D of hyperopic defocus, 100% of patients saw 20/25 or better. Even in the presence of up to -0.5 D of myopic defocus, seven out of 10 patients were still able to see 20/25 or better. These results suggest that the Tecnis Odyssey IOL provides good outcomes for patients with refractive error.
