KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS
- CENTURION® ACTIVE SENTRY® with a near physiologic IOP maintains surgical efficiency, i.e. same case time aspiration time, and ultrasound time as compared to higher intraoperative IOP settings, while BSS fluid usage is significantly reduced
- CENTURION® with ACTIVE SENTRY® maintains a stable anterior chamber at lower levels of intraoperative IOP
- Near physiologic IOP further supports the health of the anterior segment as compared to high IOP during cataract surgery, i.e.:
- Less post-operative corneal swelling
- Greater endothelial cell protection
- Less anterior segment inflammation
- Lower IOP may help to better manage reverse pupillary block
- Near physiologic IOP during cataract surgery reduces stress on the posterior capsule-anterior hyaloid membrane barrier
- Lower intraoperative IOP helps protect the posterior segment of the eye and is associated with
- Less increase in macular thickness
- Less reduction in the foveal avascular zone (FAZ)
- Lower increase in macular vessel density
- Lower IOP during cataract surgery may reduce intraoperative pain
