I checked out the abstracts of the
articles written by the first author, Dr. William A. Maxwell. Given the topics chosen, the study's designs, and the statistics used, I'd bet my next paycheck that Dr. Maxwell is a paid consultant for Alcon. If this is indeed true, then Alcon is undoubtedly paying the doctor big bucks (probably more than six figures annually) to design and carry out research which will make their IOLs (especially the "premium" ones) look good.
