New multifocal IOLs
Abbott has announced the European launch of two new measurements (optical add powers) for the TECNIS® Multifocal intraocular lens (IOL), which the company says will provide more customised treatment options for cataract patients. “With the addition of these TECNIS Multifocal IOLs, Abbott is able to provide physicians the ability to offer a more precise lens option for their patients, allowing them to maintain quality vision at near, intermediate and far distances,” said a company spokesman. “The TECNIS Multifocal +2.75 add power IOL is suited for patients who prefer intermediate vision activities, such as seeing an automobile dashboard. The TECNIS Multifocal +3.25 add power IOL is suited for patients favouring activities at longer reading distances such as working at a computer, while still providing a full range of vision,” he said.
