If an IOL implantation is planned in the context of retinal pathologies, a model with an enlarged optic diameter offers various advantages. The two most important benefits are an enhanced view at the fundus periphery and an improvement of the IOL positional stability especially with combined vitrectomy and the use of gas or silicone oil tamponades. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance and positional stability of a new 7 mm IOL.</p><p><strong>Material and methods: </strong>This prospective study included 55 eyes of 39 patients who were scheduled for standardized cataract surgery and received a monofocal 7.0 mm optic IOL (Aspira-aXA, HumanOptics). An incision size of 2.0 mm was chosen. Follow-up visits were performed 1 week (1W), 1 month (1M), 4 months (4M) and 1.5 years (1.5J) postoperatively. Measurements included subjective refraction, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA) as well as IOL stability regarding decentration, tilt and rotation (IOLs had a pseudomarking on the periphery of the optics).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Except for the postoperative occurrence of an Irvine-Gass syndrome in one eye, no intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported.
