What kind of lens is SN60WF?

What kind of lens is SN60WF?

The SN60WF is an aspheric biconvex monofocal IOL, with a reported 0.20 μm of negative spherical aberration.

Is SN60WF a toric lens?

The toric group received SN6AT series (Alcon Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA) IOLs (SN6AT3-SN6AT9; Alcon Inc.) bilaterally, and the non-toric group received SN60WF (Alcon Inc.).

Is AcrySof IQ monofocal?

The AcrySof IQ Monofocal lens is designed to reduce spherical aberration, increase contrast sensitivity, and improve functional vision. AcrySof IOLs are the most commonly used brand worldwide and unique in their ability to filter high-energy blue light.

Is AcrySof IQ hydrophobic?

The single-piece AcrySof IQ IOL is composed of a high refractive index, soft, foldable, hydrophobic acrylic material.

What is Alcon lens?

In August, Alcon launched PRECISION1 in the U.S. as the first mainstream daily disposable contact lens to use proprietary SMARTSURFACE® technology to deliver precise vision and long-lasting comfort. This new contact lens innovation will make its debut at this year’s AAO meeting.

What is SN60WF?

The AcrySof IQ lens (model SN60WF) is a single-piece IOL with proprietary blue light filtering chromophores that filter light in a manner that approximates the crystalline lens in the 400-475 nm blue light wavelength range.

What’s the difference between toric and astigmatism?

The main difference between these and regular lenses is the design. Regular lenses have just one power, but toric lenses have two: one for distance vision and one for astigmatism.

What type of lens is best for cataract surgery?

If you’re comfortable wearing glasses after cataract surgery, a monofocal lens may be the right choice. If you want to avoid wearing distance glasses after cataract surgery and have astigmatism, a toric lens might be appropriate.

Are Alcon lens good?

The Alcon PanOptix lens is good and it performs well. Like any man-made body part, particularly lens implants, there are some limitations. Nothing is as good as being young and healthy. The PanOptix certainly performs better than the bifocal IOLs that we have been using, such as the ReStor.

Is Alcon IQ lens good?

The AcrySof IQ lens has a higher refractive index versus other aspheric IOLs and has excellent elasticity, allowing me to fold it easily without kinking or twisting. I implant this IOL though a 2.2-mm incision using the UltraSert Pre-loaded IOL Delivery System (Alcon).

What is toric eye power?

Toric contact lenses are designed for people with astigmatism. Toric contact lenses correct for astigmatism issues that arise from a different curvature of the cornea or lens in your eye (referred to as regular astigmatism, corneal astigmatism or lenticular astigmatism).

Does Medicare cover toric lenses for cataract surgery?

The Toric IOL is Medicare approved. Medicare and most insurance companies will cover a portion of the cost of this procedure. New insurance guidelines allow the patient to pay the additional costs associated with the Premium Toric IOL because of its astigmatism correction properties.

What is AcrySof IQ Vivity lens?

The AcrySof™ IQ Vivity™ IOLs are artificial lenses implanted in the eye of adult patients to correct vision after having the lens removed due to a cataract. Cataracts are often the result of aging, but can have other causes.
