IT'S THE ONE WITH THE NEXT-GENERATION DESIGN

ProTEC™ 360° edge design increases protection

360° square edge for uninterrupted contact at the haptic-optic junction	Frosted edge designed to minimize unwanted edge glare
AcrySof® IOL	TECNIS® 1-Piece IOL
Limits LEC migration at the haptic-optic junction(23)

Tri-Fix™ 3-Point Fixation designed to increase stability

Tri-Fix™ Design

• Haptics offset allows three points of capsular bag fixation
• Provides refractive predictability, long-term stability, and centration

TECNIS® 1-Piece IOL increases ease of implantation

• Bag-friendly, coplanar delivery
• Proprietary surface treatment for ease of unfolding

Haptic Loops	Slim Lens Profile
Polished haptic loops enable controlled, gentle unfolding in capsular bag	Reduced center thickness for slim lens profile facilitates implantation

Indications and Important Safety Information

TECNIS® IOLs

Caution

Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Indications

Tecnis® lenses are indicated for the visual correction of aphakia in adult patients in whom a cataractous lens has been removed by extracapsular cataract extraction. These devices are intended to be placed in the capsular bag.

Warnings

Physicians considering lens implantation under any of the conditions described in the Directions for Use labeling should weigh the potential risk/benefit ratio prior to implanting a lens.

Precautions

Do not resterilize or autoclave. Use only sterile irrigating solutions such as balanced salt solution or sterile normal saline. Do not store in direct sunlight or over 45°C.

Adverse Events

Adverse events occurred at rates between 1.6% and 3.3% during the clinical trials for Tecnis® IOLs or their “parent” IOLs. These events included macular edema, endophthalmitis, anterior lens tissue ongrowth, lens dislocation, hypopyon, corneal edema, iritis, hyphema, secondary glaucoma, and secondary surgical intervention. 

Attention

Reference the Directions for Use for a complete listing of indications, warnings, and precautions.
