The launch will also expand available options physicians have to provide value to their patients with astigmatism
Johnson & Johnson Vision announced the availability of TECNIS Synergy Toric II OptiBlue PC-IOL for patients with astigmatism in India. TECNIS Synergy Toric II IOL is a continuous-range-of-vision lens engineered for rotational stability, which locks in visual performance and provides high-quality vision.
Burzin Shahana, Country Manager, Johnson & Johnson Vision, Surgical Vision India, said, “At Johnson & Johnson Vision, we are deeply engaged with Indian health care professionals to reduce cataract burden through innovative, quality-based technologies and products. TECNIS Synergy Toric II OptiBlue PC-IOL is an advanced IOL solution for cataract patients with astigmatism and gives patients the visual clarity and increased spectacle independence to improve their current lifestyles.”
He also added, “The launch will also expand available options physicians have to provide value to their patients with astigmatism.”
New TECNIS Synergy Toric II OptiBlue PC-IOL (Intraocular Lens) offers an opportunity to address both presbyopia and astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery.8 It’s designed to:
- Provide high-quality, continuous vision over a full range of distances, including far, intermediate and near, to increase spectacle independence. These Toric IOLs compensate for corneal spherical aberration and corneal astigmatism. 1
- The posterior optic of the lens has a proprietary diffractive surface designed to correct chromatic aberration for enhanced contrast sensitivity and provide high-quality vision over a full range of distances. The diffractive design of this lens leads to high visual acuities across all distances and a continuous range of vision from far through near, resulting in increased spectacle independence.
- The new frosted haptic design increases the amount of friction between the lens haptic surface and the capsular bag to lock in the Intraocular Lens for rotational stability and visual performance.
In India, TECNIS Synergy Toric II OptiBlue PC-IOL has been approved by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO).
