Monofocal Lenses

 

  •  

Tecnis — a family of foldable IOLs with an aspheric surface. The Tecnis lens is the first and the only IOL to receive FDA approval for claims of improved functional vision, which results in quicker recognition of objects in lower-light conditions. The Tecnis lens was the first aspheric lens designated as a “new technology intraocular lens” by the U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). With this designation, ambulatory surgery centers can receive $50 in additional reimbursement when implanting the Tecnis IOL. The three-piece Tecnis lens is available globally in acrylic and silicone. The new Tecnis 1-piece IOL combines the Tecnis aspheric optic with proprietary advances in 1-piece IOL design and is available in the U.S. and Europe in an acrylic material.

 

  •  

Sensar — an acrylic monofocal IOL, with the patented OptiEdge design, intended to reduce post-surgical posterior capsular opacification, in order to lessen the need for subsequent corrective laser procedures, and to reduce the potential for unwanted glare and reflections following implantation.

 

  •  

ClariFlex — a silicone monofocal IOL, also with the OptiEdge design.
