Description
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD is an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) system specifically designed to enhance the outcomes of cataract surgery. This fully preloaded, aspheric, 3-piece lens offers significant benefits in terms of surgical efficiency and visual performance.
Key Features
-
Preloaded Injector System: The iSert injector system comes fully preloaded, simplifying handling and eliminating the need for cleaning or sterilizing reusable injectors. This design reduces the risk of contamination and manual setting errors, enhancing surgical safety and efficiency.
-
Optic Material: Crafted from hydrophobic acrylic, the lens features a yellow optic with integrated UV and blue light filters. The optic material is composed of 97% soft acrylic and 3% PMMA, providing excellent visual clarity and protection.
-
Haptic Design: The lens includes blue PMMA haptics with a modified C-loop configuration and 5° angulation, ensuring stable positioning within the eye.
Optical Design
-
Aspheric Optic: The aberration-correcting aspheric optic is designed to improve visual outcomes by reducing common optical aberrations.
-
Sharp Optic Edge: The sharp edge design minimizes posterior capsule opacification (PCO), contributing to long-term visual clarity.
-
Dimensions: With an optic diameter of 6.0 mm and an overall length of 12.5 mm, the lens is precisely engineered for optimal fit.
Power Range
Available in diopter strengths ranging from +6.00 to +30.00, in 0.50 D increments, the lens can be tailored to meet individual patient needs. The A-constant is estimated at 118.4, with optimized constants available for various calculation formulas.
Clinical Benefits
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD reduces staff workload and preparation time, lowers the risk of IOL damage during loading, and requires fewer surgical instruments. These features lead to smaller incision sizes, quicker recovery times, and overall increased surgical efficiency.
Market Experience
Since its launch in 2007, over 10 million of these IOLs have been implanted worldwide, demonstrating a strong track record of success and reliability. The expected lifetime of the lens is 20 years, with replacement only necessary if medically indicated.
Considerations
While there are no known contraindications for adults, certain medical conditions may require special consideration. Potential adverse events include wound leak, dry eye syndrome, and other complications common to intraocular procedures.
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD represents a significant advancement in IOL technology, offering surgeons and patients a reliable solution for achieving excellent visual outcomes post-cataract surgery.
