CATARACT

Cataract Eyes

A cataract is a condition where the natural lens inside the eye loses its transparency due to various reasons. Having cataracts you can experience a vision to be a little cloudy and less colorful. It is difficult to drive and commute with cataracts. The only known treatment for cataracts is surgery.

"A cataract lens will last a Lifetime, and the vast majority of patients do not experience any complications with their lenses after Cataract surgery." -  Dr. Sushruth Appajigowda, VN

Johnson & Johnsons: TECNIS ENHANCE

My Favourite Monofocal Lens (EDOF)

It is a refractive lens with continuously increasing power from the periphery to the center of the lens, created by a higher-order asphere. Standard aspheric designs predominantly change shape in the peripheral part of the lens. The higher-order asphere in the TECNIS Eyhance IOL is designed to create a smooth and continuous increase in power from the periphery to the center of the lens as well as continuously change shape in the central part of the lens because of the higher-order aspheric terms. The higher-order asphere is rotationally symmetric and does not influence asymmetric higher-order aberrations such as coma. The periphery of the TECNIS Eyhance IOL is the same as the TECNIS 1-piece IOL. This feature enables both IOLs to reduce spherical aberration to near zero.ZCB00?

The TECNIS Eyhance IOL provides improved intermediate vision due to its higher-order aspheric design resulting in a continuous increase in power from the periphery to the center of the lens. The new TECNIS Eyhance monofocal IOL (ICB00) redefines the concept of the monofocal lens. Data from clinical trials and real-world patient experience suggest that it will become the monofocal IOL of choice for many ophthalmic surgeons. This view is supported by views expressed at the January 2019 Advisory Board Meeting in Frankfurt; surgeons who participated in this event suggest that the TECNIS Eyhance IOL represents the next chapter in IOL innovation, comparable in importance to the evolution from spherical to aspherical lenses.
