A systematic review of full-length original English studies reporting the visual results of small aperture IC-8 IOL implantation after cataract surgery in three databases, PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus, was performed according to the PRISMA statement. The Quality Assessment Tool for case series studies from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute was used to analyze the quality of the studies selected. The search provided 543 articles, of which 22 were included in this systematic review. Significant improvements in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA); uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA); uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA); perception of photic phenomena; and patient satisfaction have been reported. Unilateral and bilateral small aperture IC-8 IOL implantation reduces photic phenomena and provides good vision for all distances with high patient satisfaction and minimal postoperative complications. Therefore, the implantation of this IOL may be recommended for patients with cataracts, corneal irregularities and ocular trauma with partial aniridia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11164654","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,10]],"date-time":"2022-08-10T02:42:53Z","timestamp":1660099373000},"page":"4654","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Small Aperture IC-8 Extended-Depth-of-Focus Intraocular Lens in Cataract Surgery: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0450-7717","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9-Mar\u00eda","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vision Research Group (CIVIUS), Department of Physics of Condensed Matter, Optica Area, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Seville, 41012 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9453-8615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Carmen","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vision Research Group (CIVIUS), Department of Physics of Condensed Matter, Optica Area, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Seville, 41012 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Concepci\u00f3n","family":"De-Hita-Cantalejo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vision Research Group (CIVIUS), Department of Physics of Condensed Matter, Optica Area, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Seville, 41012 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9248-8685","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Ballesteros-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vision Research Group (CIVIUS), Department of Physics of Condensed Matter, Optica Area, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Seville, 41012 Seville, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Cl\u00ednica Novovisi\u00f3n, 30107 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1097\/ICU.0000000000000340","article-title":"The global state of cataract blindness","volume":"28","author":"Lee","year":"2017","journal-title":"Curr.
