SIFI TO PRESENT NEW PRODUCTS AND SCIENTIFIC DATA DURING THE 42ND CONGRESS OF THE EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CATARACT AND REFRACTIVE SURGEONS

CATANIA, Italy, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SIFI, a leading international ophthalmic company, is pleased to announce that it will present two product innovations and new scientific data during the upcoming Congress of The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) which will take place from September 6-10 in Barcelona (Spain).

"SIFI is pioneering the integration of wavefront technology with ocular surface management technologies to advance the standard of care in refractive cataract surgery. By tailoring intraocular lens optics and ocular surface treatments, our solutions allow patients to achieve superior quality of vision," said Maria Cristina Curatolo, SIFI's Executive Director of Innovation and Medical Science.

Two new products will be introduced:

• A new version of its EVOLUX extended monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with an improved injection technology, allowing a smoother delivery and the freedom to choose between a push or screw technique;
• A new IOL calculator based on the Hoffer QST and Næser-Savini formulas, allowing a more precise calculation of spherical and cylindrical powers, also thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.

A total of five podium presentation and five e-Posters will feature clinical outcomes on SIFI's solutions for cataract refractive surgery and ocular surface disease, such as EVOLUX, the presbyopia-correcting WELL FUSION system and the artificial tear Eyestil SYNFO. The schedule of scientific presentations is as follows:
