History
What year did the TECNIS platform begin?
2001
What is the unique TECNIS manufacturing process designed to achieve?
Deliver consistent product quality which yields predictable high-quality performance lenses
The TECNIS platform has a refractive index of _________.
1.47
TECNIS IOLs deliver high-quality vision by minimizing two types of optical aberration
chromatic and spherical aberration
Blocks the shortest wavelengths producing the most light scatter and mitigates incidence of moderate-to-severe halos and glare
Violet-light filter
First Mono + EDOF to market
TECNIS Eyhance (2020)
The process of cutting IOL's to the desired shape at a low controlled temperatures using precisely shaped diamond tools
Cryolathing
What is the average spherical aberration present in the natural cornea and how does the TECNIS platform address?
Average spherical aberration in natural cornea is +.27.
TECNIS IOL's induce -.27 of spherical aberration, correcting SA to essentially zero
The TECNIS platform has a low refractive index and a _________ Abbe number of ___________.
high Abbe number of 55
This TECNIS IOL offers functional vision at every distance with fewer side effects and has a high tolerance with minimized dysphotopsias
Symphony OptiBlue IOL
First EDOF PC-IOL to market
TECNIS Symphony (2016)
The process of cutting lenses at a low temp was specifically developed to eliminate _________ which can cause __________ sometimes associated with IOLS
Vacuoles which can cause glistenings
This can occur after cataract surgery and can lead to decreased vision and IOL decentration.
Capsule phimosis of the capsule
______________ is associated with light scatter
Glistenings
TECNIS Eyehance IOLs deliver ____% improvement in image contrast at 5mm compared to AcrySof IQ
30%
First Aspheric lens to market
TECNIS 1-piece (2005)
This design offers reduced edge glare and lessens the effect of ghosting
Frosted edges
The aspheric surface on the TECNIS IOL was designed using what model?
ACE model
What feature of the TECNIS platform provides high image contrast performance under all lighting conditions?
Low induction of chromatic aberration due to its material
TECNIS Toric ll has a less than _____ degree of rotation on average after 3 months post op
less than 5 degree rotation
First PC-IOL/Multifocal to market
Array (1998)
What is the A-constant of our TECNIS lenses using the Barrett Surgeon factor?
2.09
TECNIS IOL's have a dispersion of _____
0.009
InteliLight is an innovative combination of three proprietary technologies, which are...
Violet light filter
High resolution echelette design
Achromatic technology
How does Eyhance work?
Eyhance has a small continuous increase of curvature within the 1mm center of the lens which slightly extends the depth of focus.
