Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Accommodating intraocular lenses (IOLs) are intended to be used in patients with cataract who want to reduce spectacle dependence. We identified four IOLs that are classified as 'accommodating' and are all available to the European market as they are Conformite Europeenne marked (Crystalens AO by Bausch & Lomb, Synchrony by Visiogen, Tek-Clear™ by Tekia and Tetraflex™ by Lenstec). We conducted a literature review searching for clinical studies published from 2004 in the major databases. Four studies met our inclusion criteria. Although there are no safety concerns related to the accommodating IOLs as the surgical technique is well established and is the same for standard (monofocal) and multifocal IOLs, evidence on effectiveness is still limited. No positive judgements can be stated from such a narrow evidence base. Comparative, larger and long-term studies are required to prove the performance and stability of the devices. © 2011 Expert Reviews Ltd.
