6.1 The committee noted that there are several different lens systems available for this procedure, and that these vary in complexity. The majority of evidence comes from 1 device.

6.2 The committee noted that the technology and the techniques used in this procedure are evolving.

6.3 The committee noted that there is a National Institute for Health Research-funded multicentre randomised controlled trial in progress (the MIRROR trial) and suitable patients should be recruited to this or other similar studies when possible.
