Response: Similar to MIGS stent technology for glaucoma, MiLOOP is a an application of micro-interventional technology for cataract surgery – allows the fragmentation of the lens with simple micro-interventional pen-like device which does not require complex, capital-intense phaco-emulsification…also it does not require vibrational energy

MedicalResearch.com: What should readers take away from your report?

 Iantech introduces a micro-­interventional devices designed to deliver energy-­free endocapsular lens fragmentationResponse: That after 50 years of conventional phacoemulsification cataract technology, new breakthrough micro-interventional approaches are on the horizon.

MedicalResearch.com: What recommendations do you have for future research as a result of this study?

Response: Future studies will evaluate whether micro-interventional approaches for cataract surgery can replace phacoemulsification equipment altogether.
