Introducing the Lenstec SBL-3 ClearView MIOL

What are the benefits of the ClearView 3 IOL? 

Performance and precision

The ClearView 3 is available in 0.25 diopter power increments, allowing our cataract surgeons to finely tune your lens for the best possible quality of vision.

Before receiving FDA approval, the ClearView 3 underwent a clinical trial that showed high levels of patient satisfaction and visual outcomes. Over 90% of patients had binocular visual acuities of 20/25 or better at all distances and over 93% achieved complete spectacle independence. 

Safety and compatibility 

The lens is deemed suitable for adults with cataracts in need of eye surgery with minimal astigmatism. 

This IOL is made of a safe, hydrophobic acrylic material and replaces your natural lens. Its bi-aspheric, square-edged design fits comfortably and securely in place.

This flexible material also makes IOL implantation a quick, seamless process. 

What are the risks of the SBL-3?

Like all medical solutions, the Lenstec ClearView 3 isn’t completely without risk. While a vast majority of patients won’t encounter problems, it’s good to be informed. 

Some risks of the ClearView 3 include:

• Lens displacement: There’s a possibility of lens misalignment which could affect vision and require lens repositioning.
• Postoperative complications: Some patients might face inflammation or infection after implantation.
• Light sensitivity: A temporary increase in light sensitivity might be experienced by some.
• Visual disturbances: A few patients could experience minor visual disturbances.
• The SBL-3 MIOL is not advised for individuals with certain conditions, including glaucoma, corneal diseases, or retinal detachment.

IOL comparisons

When compared to other lenses like the Tecnis Synergy IOL, Synergy is recognized for its vision range and retinal protection against blue light. While both lenses aim for enhanced vision, the SBL-3 offers features such as reduced visual disturbances and contrast sensitivity, that set it apart from other IOLs.

Compared to the Eyhance IOL, the SBL-3 is designed for comprehensive vision improvement, while Eyhance is known for improved intermediate vision, suitable for activities like computer use. Each lens provides different features, aiming for improved vision outcomes.

The only way to know which IOL is best for you is to consult with our eye specialists. During your pre-operation consultation, our doctor will thoroughly evaluate your eye health and level of refractive error. Considering your lifestyle and vision goals combined with your corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth, and axial length (which we’ll measure in the office), we’ll determine the IOL that will provide the best visual outcome for you.
