The SML is an intraocular sulcus lens that has a bifocal design with a central optical zone of 1.5mm in diameter. This optical zone provides a +10 diopter addition for patients. The peripheral zone is neutral, leaving the patient’s distance vision and visual field unaffected.

Scharioth Macula Lens A45SML Single-piece bifocal IOL for the visual correction of AMD by implanting into the ciliary sulcus in addition to a primary IOL in the patient’s pseudophakic eye Standard Powers:

The SML is a joint innovation of Prof. Gábor Scharioth and Medicontur Medical Engineering, a medical device company with 30 years of focused experience with intraocular implants. The first SML was implanted in 2013, and since then multiple clinics world-wide have included this novel solution into their practice.

The pupil is constricted (near vision miosis) and light rays pass through the central region of the SML, providing a magnified image on the macula (Figure 1). Due to the high dioptric power of the central region, sharp vision is achieved at a distance of about 15 cm.

This online medical tool helps to determine whether your patient is suitable for SML implantation.

The SML is a novel intraocular implant which was developed to enhance the quality of life of pseudophakic patients with advanced DRY AMD. The SML is a joint innovation of Prof. Gábor Scharioth and Medicontur Medical engineering, a medical device company with 30 years of focused experience with intraocular implants.

HOW DOES SML WORK ? For whom is SML recommended? SML targets solely pseudophakic patients with advanced DRY AMD, offering them a convenient, simple and safe solution to restore their near vision impaired by AMD. SML - New Technology focuses on patients with advanced stage AMD but it might be helpful

2024年3月1日 · The Scharioth Macula Lens (SML, Medicontur) is a magnifying intraocular lens designed for pseudophakic patients. The SML is implanted in the ciliary sulcus of one eye, providing a mathematically calculated average two-fold magnification. The peripheral zone of the lens is optically neutral, with other dioptric powers available.

2019年7月7日 · Recently, there has been a report on the use of wavefront optimised IOL to provide enhanced quality of image on the macula during cataract surgery in patients with AMD. 15 The Scharioth macula lens (SML) (A45 SML, Medicontur, Hungary) is a single-piece hydrophilic IOL implanted monocularly in the ciliary sulcus as a supplementary/piggyback IOL i...
