Discover the Apthera Lens

Achieve your best personal vision with the Apthera IOL

The Apthera IOL is a replacement lens exclusively designed to give you the advantage of clear, focused vision from near to far, and everything in between. The Apthera IOL is intended for use in just one eye and is paired with a monofocal or monofocal toric (astigmatism-correcting) IOL in the fellow eye. This powerful combination will be customized by your physician based on your visual and lifestyle needs to help you achieve your personal best vision.

The power of focused light

Only the Apthera IOL offers small aperture technology. Unlike other IOLs, it does not split, shift or stretch light. When light enters your eye, the small aperture technology filters out unfocused light that can cause blurry vision. With the Apthera IOL, light is naturally focused as it enters the eye and seamlessly expands your range of vision—so you can see objects, people, even text—across the full range of focal distances.1 Click here to download our patient brochure.

How is light focused?

The Apthera IOL has a FilterRing™ component built within the lens. This FilterRing component creates a small aperture, allowing focused light to enter into the eye. Unfocused light that causes blurry vision is filtered away. This provides a continuous range of vision allowing patients to see from near (reading a cell phone), through intermediate (looking at a computer) to far (seeing a street light) without blurry zones.1

Indications for Use

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Approved use: The IC-8 Apthera intraocular lens (IOL) is approved for adult patients who need surgery to treat cataract, have corneal astigmatism (up to 1.5 diopters) before surgery, and do not have preexisting retinal conditions.

Who should not receive this treatment? The IC-8 Apthera IOL is contraindicated for patients whose pupils do not dilate widely and patients with any retinal disease or for patients who may be at risk for getting retinal diseases in the future.

What warnings should I be aware of? Your eye doctor will determine if you are a candidate for the IC-8 Apthera IOL. Preexisting retinal disease and certain eye conditions may increase the risk of complications. If you have any complications during your cataract surgery before the IC-8 Apthera IOL is implanted, you may need to have another IOL implanted instead of the IC-8 Apthera IOL.

What precautions should I be aware of? The safety and effectiveness of the IC-8 Apthera IOL have not been established in patients with certain preexisting eye conditions or in patients who experience certain complications during cataract surgery. You should discuss these possible conditions with your eye doctor to determine if you are a candidate for the IC-8 Apthera IOL.

What are the potential risks? As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with cataract surgery and implantation of an IOL that you and your eye doctor should discuss. Potential risks associated with the IC-8 Apthera IOL include unwanted visual effects such as glare, appearance of rings around lights, starburst, faded colors, blurry or double vision, and trouble seeing at night. Following implantation of the IC-8 Apthera IOL, your eye doctor may need to perform additional procedures to give you the best vision outcome possible. There is a small chance that you may require additional surgery as a result of a complication.

Attention: Reference the Patient Information Brochure for each IOL for a complete listing of warnings and precautions.

Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
