Model Characteristics Chart Model Optic Type Haptic Angle Anterior Asymmetric Biconvex DESCRIPTION The AcrySof® IQ UV and blue light filtering acrylic foldable single-piece posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) is an optical implant for the replacement of the human crystalline lens in the visual correction of aphakia in adult patients following cataract surgery. The AcrySof® IQ lens with Alcon’s proprietary blue light filtering chromophore filters light...
Open the catalog to page 2Figure 2 Spectral Transmittance Curves crystalline lens NOTES: • The cutoff wavelength and the spectral transmittance curves presented here represent the range of transmittance values of IOLs made from acrylate/methacrylate copolymer with bonded UV-absorber and Alcon’s proprietary blue light filtering chromophore. • Measurements were by direct transmittance using a 6mm aperture and a disc of thickness equivalent to the optic center. • Human lens data is from Boettner and Wolter (1962). Table 1 Transmittance Comparison for 20.0 D IOLs, % Model Transmittance Reduction with SN60WF (% of...
Open the catalog to page 3MODE OF ACTION The AcrySof® IQ posterior chamber intraocular lens is intended to be positioned in the posterior chamber of the eye, replacing the natural crystalline lens. This position allows the lens to function as a refractive medium in the correction of aphakia. The aspheric biconvex optic reduces spherical aberration as compared to a standard spherical optic in an average eye. The effectiveness of this lens in reducing the incidence of retinal disorders has not been established. INDICATIONS The AcrySof® IQ posterior chamber intraocular lens is indicated for the replacement of the human...
Open the catalog to page 4Postoperative distension of the capsular bag with variable amounts of anterior chamber shallowing and induced myopia have been associated with capsulorhexis techniques and implantation of PMMA, silicone and acrylic posterior chamber lenses (Holtz, 1992). 10. Caution should be used prior to lens encapsulation to avoid lens decentrations or dislocations. Some clinical cases suggest encapsulation occurs within four weeks. 11. The clinical study of the AcrySof® Natural Single-Piece Lens (referenced in Tables 2 through 5) was conducted with the lens intended for implantation in the capsular bag...
Open the catalog to page 5CALCULATION OF LENS POWER Preoperative calculation of required lens power for these posterior chamber intraocular lenses should be determined by the surgeon’s experience, preference, and intended lens placement. Lens power calculation methods are described in the following references: Hoffer, K.J. The Hoffer Q formula: A comparison of theoretic and regression formulas. J. Cataract Refract. Surg. 19:700-712, 1993. Holladay, J.T., et al. A three-part system for refining intraocular lens power calculations. J. Cataract Refract. Surg. 14:17-24, 1988. Holladay, J.T., et al. Standardizing...

There were no statistically significant differences between the Model SB30AL and the Model SA30AL for the proportion of subjects experiencing any of the cumulative adverse events. Table 4 Cumulative Adverse Events at a Minimum of One Year Postoperatively AcrySof® Natural Lens SB30AL and SA30AL control...
Open the catalog to page 8AcrySof® Natural SINGLE-PIECE LENS Model SB30AL Nd:YAG RATES With a mean follow-up of 21.6 months, three (3) of the 135 subjects (2.2%) implanted with SB30AL experienced a Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy. With a mean follow-up of 21.9 months, two (2) of the 127 subjects (1.6%) implanted with SA30AL experienced a Nd: YAG posterior capsulotomy. AcrySof® IQ LENS CLINICAL STUDY Consistent with the design of similar previously conducted IOL studies, adult subjects in good general ocular health (e.g. no prior ocular surgery, degenerative visual disorder which would significantly impact visual...

Patients were tested monocularly under conditions which simulate city and rural settings under normal, glare and fog conditions. The nighttime city driving scene employs a variety of street lights, car lights, store lights and signs to recreate the high level of ambient lighting typical under...
