Product catalog summary
Product Overview
Alcon Laboratories, Inc. offers the KELMAN® MULTIFLEX™ III, a sterile UV-absorbing PMMA single-piece anterior chamber lens. It is designed to replace the optical function of the natural crystalline lens without restoring accommodation. These lenses are positioned anterior to the iris and come in various models with specific dimensions and mechanical characteristics.

Specifications
The lenses are made from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with UV-absorbing properties, having a specific gravity of 1.19 and an index of refraction of 1.49. The optic power ranges from +5.0 to +30.0 diopters, and they are available in sizes to fit anterior chamber diameters from 11.0 mm to 13.9 mm.

Mechanical Characteristics
The document outlines the force required to compress the lenses and the vault observed after compression, which varies across different models, indicating their mechanical stability and flexibility.

Indications and Contraindications
The lenses are indicated for visual correction of aphakia in adult patients post-cataract surgery. They are contraindicated for patients under 18 years or those with conditions like congenital bilateral cataracts, glaucoma, or active uveitis.

Warnings and Precautions
Potential complications include lens dislocation, inflammation, and infection. The document advises careful consideration of lens dimensions relative to the patient's eye anatomy and emphasizes the importance of postoperative monitoring.

Clinical Trial Data
Clinical trials from 1982 to 1987 showed that 89.4% of patients achieved a visual acuity of 20/40 or better under best-case conditions. The trials included a diverse cohort, primarily Caucasian, with a mean age of 71 years.

Adverse Reactions
Complications observed during clinical trials included surgical reintervention, corneal decompensation, and intraocular infection. Additional potential complications are listed, highlighting the need for careful patient selection and monitoring.

Patient Registration and Reporting
Post-implantation, patients must be registered with Alcon Laboratories for long-term follow-up. Adverse events should be reported to Alcon for documentation and analysis of long-term effects.

CAUTION When considering the implantation of IOLs of powers at extreme ends of the available power range, special consideration should be given to the dimensions of these lenses in relation to the anatomical clearances in the patient’s eyes. The potential impact of factors such as optic central thickness, optic edge thickness and overall lens size on these patients’ long-term clinical outcome must be carefully weighed against the potential benet associated with the implantation of an IOL, and the patients’ clinical progress should be carefully monitored. Under certain circumstances, there may...
