Description
The HOYA Vivinex iSert XC1 is an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) designed specifically for cataract surgery, offering a range of features tailored to enhance visual outcomes and surgical efficiency.
Material and Design
Crafted from glistening-free hydrophobic acrylic, this lens incorporates a UV filter to protect the eye. Its proprietary aspheric optic design, known as "ABC Design," aims to reduce spherical aberration and minimize coma, even if the lens is decentered. The lens features a square, thin, and textured optic edge, which plays a crucial role in reducing posterior capsule opacification (PCO) by acting as a barrier to lens epithelial cell migration.
Surface and Haptic Features
The lens undergoes active oxygen processing to achieve a smooth and regular optic surface, further diminishing PCO. The haptic design includes a textured-rough surface, enhancing grip within the capsular bag and preventing sticking during folding.
Injector System
The Vivinex iSert preloaded injector system ensures safe, consistent, and reproducible lens delivery. It allows for insertion through incisions as small as 2.0 mm, with a recommended incision size of 2.20 mm, thereby reducing the risk of surgically-induced astigmatism.
MRI Compatibility
The lens is MRI compatible at 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla, as it contains no metallic components, ensuring safety in various medical imaging environments.
Long-term Performance
Long-term studies have demonstrated the lens's transparency, with no glistening observed, along with low PCO and Nd:YAG capsulotomy rates. These attributes contribute to its suitability for lifetime implantation.
