Restoring
Youthful 
Vision

Cataracts – hardened and clouded lenses leading to vision loss – are an inevitability of aging. Half of Americans develop cataracts by the age of 75, and it’s estimated that the number of people with cataracts in the U.S. will double from 24.4 million to approximately 50 million by 2050.

Our Mission: To restore vision by imitating the natural lens of a young, healthy eye.

Revolutionizing Cataract Surgery

Each year, more than 30 million cataract surgeries are performed globally. The cataractous lens is most often replaced with a rigid, monofocal  intraocular lens (IOL) that corrects for near or far vision, but not  both. While premium IOLs such as multi-focal, trifocal, and Extended  Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLs exist, these options carry side effects,  leaving cataract and refractive surgeons with imperfect solutions for their patients. Until now, no IOL has been able to approximate the  properties of a young, healthy lens.

The Adaptilens accommodating IOL (A-IOL) recaptures the eye’s intrinsic ability to accommodate by responding to its natural signal to focus without spectacle dependence.

Range of Vision

Restores full range of visioneliminating the need for glasses after surgery.

Corrects distance or near vision, not bothrequiring glasses after surgery.

Mechanism of 
Action

Soft, flexible lensresponds to eye’s muscles of accommodation.

Stiff lensdoesn’t work with muscles of accommodation.

Side Effects

No halos, glare, or decreased
contrast sensitivity
 

Side effectscommonly include decreased contrast sensitivity, halos, and glare.

Like the young natural lens, the Adaptilens accommodating intraocular lens (A-IOL) is soft and flexible.
