Description
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD is an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) designed to replace the eye's natural lens during cataract surgery. Crafted by HOYA, this monofocal, aspheric lens offers precise vision correction and is intended for placement in the capsular bag.
Key Features
- Optic Material: The lens is made from hydrophobic acrylic, ensuring a glistening-free, clear vision. Its proprietary aspheric optic design helps in aberration correction, enhancing visual clarity.
- Haptic Material: The haptics are composed of blue polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and are chemically bonded to the optic. This design provides stability within the eye.
- Optic Design: With a 6.0 mm diameter, the biconvex shape and 360° square edge of the optic reduce posterior capsule opacification (PCO), maintaining long-term clarity.
- Haptic Design: Featuring a modified C-loop configuration with a 5° angulation, the lens measures an overall length of 12.5 mm, ensuring secure positioning.
Light Filtration
The lens is available in versions that filter UV and blue light, providing additional protection to the eye. The clear version does not offer UV protection.
Preloaded Injector System
The fully preloaded iSert injector system allows for a seamless surgical procedure, minimizing the need for cleaning and sterilization of reusable injectors. The system supports an incision size of less than 2.75 mm, enhancing surgical efficiency.
Manufacturing Excellence
Manufactured through a precise lathe-cut and tumble-polished process, the lens comprises 97% soft acrylic and 3% PMMA. This composition contributes to its durability and performance.
Clinical Experience
With over 10 million hydrophobic IOLs implanted worldwide since 2007, HOYA's lenses have a proven track record of success. The expected lifetime of the lens is approximately 20 years, with no replacement required unless medically indicated.
Considerations
While there are no known contraindications for adults, certain medical conditions may necessitate special consideration by the surgeon. Potential adverse events include common surgical risks such as wound leak, dry eye syndrome, and changes in intraocular pressure.
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD does not correct astigmatism and is also referred to as PC-60AD/PY-60AD. Its design and features make it a reliable choice for patients seeking effective vision restoration during cataract surgery.
