J&J Vision Releases Tecnis Symfony OptiBlue IOL

Johnson & Johnson Vision has released its Tecnis Symfony OptiBlue IOL, a presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (PC-IOL) with InteliLight technology. It’s now available in the U.S. and select EMEA countries.
 
According to J&J Vision, the violet-light filter blocks the shortest wavelengths of light producing the most light scatter to help mitigate halo, glare, and starbursts as well as reduce visual disturbances while night driving.
 
The Echelette design helps to minimize scattering and halo intensity to ease seeing digital devices. Achromatic technology corrects chromatic aberration for improved day and night contrast.
 
“We know our patients’ lives don’t stop at sunset, and neither should their confidence in being able to see clearly or drive at night,” Nikki Sidi, VP of Global Strategic Marketing, Surgical Vision, Johnson & Johnson Vision, told the press. “The InteliLight PCIOL portfolio delivers best-in-category contrast and low-light performance. And with TECNIS Synergy for spectacle independence and TECNIS Symfony OptiBlue for functional vision at every distance, surgeons can now choose the best in low-light performing PCIOLs, according to their patients’ needs.”
