Since the first intraocular lens was implanted in 1949, the holy grail of cataract and refractive surgery has been a truly accommodating lens.
Inspired by nature, we set out to restore youthful vision by imitating the young, healthy lens. The Adaptilens A-IOL is the first IOL to truly replicate the human crystalline lens in both form and function.
Designed to respond to the natural forces of the eye’s ciliary muscle, the Adaptilens A-IOL changes shape and power just as a young, healthy lens does. Bench testing shows that this physiologically adaptive lens restores the full range of vision—near, intermediate, and distance—with high visual quality and without the tradeoffs of existing solutions.
Like the natural lens, the Adaptilens A-IOL disaccommodates by flattening its anterior radius of curvature, becoming thinner, and thus reducing optical power. This video of OCT imaging from in-vitro accommodation simulations captures this dynamic behavior, demonstrating the lens transitioning seamlessly between accommodated and disaccommodated states under physiological conditions.
Our goal is simple and transformative: to restore full range of vision and eliminate the need for glasses.
Proprietary Bottle Brush Polymer (BBP)
The Adaptilens BBP properties closely mimic those of the natural lens with the advantages of synthetic flexibility, a high molecular weight and stability, and without the risks inherent in silicone oil.
The Adaptilens AIOL has an MTF value of 0.74, indicating excellent optical quality.
Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is a measure of how well a lens preserves contrast at different levels of detail. The high MTF of the Adaptilens A-IOL shows that the lens preserves image contrast effectively, resulting in excellent optical quality.
