Despite numerous IOL options available for cataract surgery, until now, no single IOL has existed to meet the changing needs of patients looking to attain clear, continuous range of vision they want, day and night. "As ophthalmic pioneers, we took on the challenge to develop an IOL that would give patients the clear, continuous range of vision they want, from far to near, day to night," said Tom Frinzi, Worldwide President, Surgical, Johnson & Johnson Vision.†"Today, thanks to the ingenuity of our team of researchers and scientists, we stay true to our legacy of innovation with the introduction of TECNIS Synergy™ IOL, our most advanced IOL solution yet, which we believe will redefine the industry standard for IOL quality and performance." The Johnson & Johnson Vision R&D team disrupted the traditional IOL development approach – designing the optimal defocus curve for clinical performance, then developing the technology to deliver against it. The result – a revolutionary lens that:
"The TECNIS Synergy™ IOL is a game-changer," said Dr. Francesco Carones, MD, Medical Director and Physician CEO of Carones Vision, Milan, Italy.††"I am delighted with the results my patients have had. With some lenses, patients can find it hard to focus on objects at certain points, but the continuous vision provided by TECNIS Synergy™ IOL smooths out those visual 'gaps.' Best of all, the lens continues to perform, even as light dwindles." Dr. Frank Kerkhoff, MD PhD††added "Patients I have fitted with the TECNIS Synergy™ IOL are able to read in low and dim-light conditions. This is a fantastic benefit that I have not seen before with other PC-IOLs." TECNIS Synergy™ IOL has European CE Mark and is now commercially available across Europe, including UK, Italy, France, Spain and Germany. It is also available in Australia and New Zealand. This product is not currently approved or commercially available in other countries. TECNIS Synergy™ IOL combines proprietary technology from the TECNIS® Family of IOLs platform, known across the industry for high-quality optics. The launch of TECNIS Synergy™ IOL is Johnson & Johnson Vision's second cataract innovation, following the launch of TECNIS Eyhance™ IOL, in Europe and Asia Pacific (Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong) earlier this year. About Cataracts and Presbyopia Many people who have cataracts experience other problems with their vision, such as presbyopia. Cataract surgery is a unique opportunity to address presbyopia without an additional procedure. Presbyopia is a progressive eye condition, which makes it difficult to focus on close objects and usually becomes noticeable around 40 years of age.13 About Johnson & Johnson Vision About Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies ǂJohnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc.
