Johnson & Johnson launches new intraocular lens TECNIS PureSee in India

Johnson & Johnson announced that its TECNIS PureSee purely refractive intraocular lens (IOL) for individuals with presbyopia is now available in India. The TECNIS PureSee IOL features a purely refractive design that delivers uninterrupted vision with high contrast and low-light performance, comparable to a monofocal IOL.

“Cataract surgery is the most common surgery performed globally, with 28 million procedures each year. But only 10-15 per cent of patients are getting advanced optical IOLs specifically designed for addressing the issues of astigmatism and presbyopia, said Burzin Shahana, Country Manager, Surgical Vision India and South Asia, Johnson & Johnson MedTech. 

While choosing any IOL, surgeons and patients have to consider many factors. For example, a lens that offers clear sight at all distances without spectacles, may not be able to remove glares and halos. The purely refractive design of TECNIS PureSee lens addresses these issues and therefore improves the overall outcomes for both patients and surgeons.

With its purely refractive design, the TECNIS PureSee IOL ensures surgeons’ ease of use in providing high tolerance to refractive error. The TECNIS PureSee IOL offers important benefits, including:

• Uninterrupted high-quality vision, with excellent distance and intermediate vision, as well as functional near vision for increased spectacle independence.
• A dysphotopsia profile that is comparable to a monofocal IOL in frequency, bothersome and difficulty levels, which means little to no visual symptoms, such as halos, glares, and starbursts.
