New Delhi: Johnson & Johnson, a global leader in eye health, has announced that its TECNIS PureSee™ purely refractive intraocular lens (IOL) for individuals with presbyopia is now available in India.
The TECNIS PureSee IOL features a purely refractive design that delivers uninterrupted, high-quality, vision with high best-in-category contrast and low-light performance, comparable to a monofocal IOL.
“Cataract surgery is the most common surgery performed globally, with 28 million procedures each year. But only 10-15% of patients are getting advanced optical IOLs specifically designed for addressing issues of astigmatism and presbyopia, said Burzin Shahana, Country Manager, Surgical Vision India & South Asia, Johnson & Johnson MedTech. “We’re proud to launch the TECNIS PureSee™ IOL, giving surgeons and a growing number of patients in India the choice of a premium IOL that combines clarity of vision and reduced visual symptoms.”
While choosing any IOL, surgeons and patients have to consider many factors. For example, a lens that offers clear sight at all distances without spectacles, may not be able to remove glares and halos. The purely refractive design of TECNIS PureSee™ lens addresses these issues and therefore improves the overall outcomes for both patients and surgeons.
With its purely refractive design, the TECNIS PureSee™ IOL ensures surgeons’ ease of use in providing high tolerance to refractive error. The TECNIS PureSee™ IOL offers important benefits, including:
-
Uninterrupted high-quality vision, with excellent distance and intermediate vision, as well as functional near vision for increased spectacle independence.
-
A dysphotopsia profile that is comparable to a monofocal IOL in frequency, bothersome and difficulty levels, which means little to no visual symptoms, such as halos, glares, and starbursts.
