FDA approves Tecnis toric one-piece IOL


   



The TECNIS® Toric 1-piece lens is an ultraviolet-light absorbing posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) which compensates for corneal spherical aberrations and corneal astigmatism. It is designed to be positioned in the lens capsule where the lens should replace the optical function of the natural crystalline lens. The TECNIS® Toric 1-piece IOL incorporates a proprietary wavefront-designed toric aspheric optic with a squared posterior optic edge designed to provide a 360 degree barrier. The edge of the optic has a frosted design to reduce potential edge glare effects. The anteriorly located cylinder axis marks denote the meridian with the lowest power.
