Description
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD is a sophisticated intraocular lens (IOL) designed to enhance visual outcomes for patients undergoing cataract surgery. This preloaded, aspheric, 3-piece lens is crafted from hydrophobic acrylic, offering a monofocal, aberration-correcting optic that aims to restore clarity by replacing the eye’s natural lens.
Key Features
-
Optic Material and Design
The lens is composed of 97% soft acrylic and 3% PMMA, providing durability and performance. Its aspheric design is tailored to correct aberrations, contributing to improved visual quality. -
Haptic Configuration
The blue PMMA haptics are chemically bonded to the optic, featuring a modified C-loop with 5° angulation. This configuration ensures stable positioning within the capsular bag. -
Dimensions
With an optic diameter of 6.0 mm and an overall length of 12.5 mm, the lens is designed to fit seamlessly within the eye.
Advanced Features
-
Diopter Range
Available in a power range from +6.00 to +30.00 diopters in 0.50 D increments, allowing precise customization to meet individual patient needs. -
UV and Blue Light Filters
The lens includes UV and blue light filtering capabilities, offering protection against harmful light exposure. -
Edge Design
The sharp optic edge is engineered to reduce posterior capsule opacification (PCO), enhancing long-term visual outcomes.
Injector System
The fully preloaded iSert delivery system is a standout feature, enabling lens implantation through a 2.4 mm incision. The single-use, disposable injector reduces the need for cleaning and sterilization, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.
- Injector Tip Diameter
The front injector tip has an outer diameter of 1.89 mm, facilitating precise and safe lens delivery.
Clinical Performance
With an estimated A-constant of 118.4, the lens offers reliable performance metrics for surgical planning. The clear, non-yellow-tinted lens maintains a consistent glistening profile, as observed in related models under in vitro conditions.
Longevity and Experience
Expected to last 20 years without replacement, the HOYA iSert PY-60AD benefits from extensive clinical experience, with over 10 million IOLs implanted worldwide since 2007.
Handling and Preparation
The lens system can be prepared swiftly, with OVD infusion and stepwise advancement ensuring smooth implantation. This efficiency supports surgical workflow, providing surgeons with a dependable tool for successful cataract surgery outcomes.
Safety Considerations
While there are no known contraindications for adults, potential adverse events such as wound leak, dry eye syndrome, and other ocular complications should be considered by the surgeon. Awareness of these factors is crucial for optimal patient care and surgical success.
