AcuFocus Apthera IOL

How does the IC-8 Apthera IOL improve vision?

So, how does the Apthera IOL bring clarity back into your life? Leveraging proprietary small aperture technology, Apthera IOL’s embedded FilterRing™ filters out unfocused light, allowing only focused light to reach your retina. Filtering out low-quality light provides a continuous range of vision, from near, far, and even intermediate vision — that’s like a triple-focus lens!

The FDA-approved Apthera IOL can provide your best personal vision by treating cataracts, correcting for astigmatism, and mitigating the effects of presbyopia.

Am I a candidate for Apthera IOL?

The Apthera IOL is an excellent option for cataract patients and patients with low corneal astigmatism or presbyopia (age-related vision changes).

However, the Apthera small aperture IOL isn’t appropriate for all patients. You might not qualify for the Apthera IOL if you have:

• A history of retinal disease or predisposition to retinal disease.
• Issues with pupil dilation.
• Diabetes, sickle cell disease, or other medical conditions that impact your immune system or healing ability.

Consult our expert ophthalmologists to see if this IOL is right for you.

What are the benefits of the Apthera IOL?

With all the IOLs on the market, what makes Apthera IOL your best option? While Apthera isn’t for everyone, it has some advantages over other available intraocular lenses.

A wider range of visual acuity

The Apthera extended depth of focus IOL improves your vision at all ranges. Most patients won’t need reading glasses or other corrective lenses after their IOL procedure.

Corrects astigmatism and cataracts

Non-toric lenses are commonly used to treat cataracts — replacing the cloudy lens with a new artificial lens. Apthera IOLs have a good success rate for patients with irregular corneas — such as those with astigmatism or who have previously had laser vision correction. AcuFocus’s toric lens can also correct up to 1.5 diopters of astigmatism.

Minimally invasive

The IOL implant procedure is quick and painless, with a quick recovery time. Our patients go home the same day (although you will need someone else to drive you home).

Maintain contrast sensitivity

Extended depth of focus lenses can impact contrast sensitivity (the ability to distinguish between an object and the background) by allowing your eye to focus on near, middle, and far vision simultaneously. To prevent this problem, it is advised to have the Apthera IOL inserted in your non-dominant eye and a monovision IOL on the other side (the fellow eye.)
