First Preloaded Toric Available in
"The use of preloaded IOLs can contribute to surgical efficiency and reduce the risks associated with handling," said
The SimplifEYE injector facilitates smooth and consistent implantation of enVista lenses in just three steps through an incision as small as 2.2mm. The fully enclosed SnapSet™ cartridge houses an untouched IOL to ensure proper positioning and helps reduce the risk of lens damage. The beveled tip of the SimplifEYE system permits consistent lens folding to afford surgeons reproducible and reliable delivery of the enVista IOL.
"In my experience, this new delivery system allows for streamlined IOL insertion, and the lens then unfolds quickly, both of which contribute substantially to enhancing efficiency in my OR," said Dee Stephenson, M.D., from
The enVista MX60PL offers the widest range of powers of any preloaded IOL (0-34D). The enVista toric (MX60PT) offers exceptional rotational stability as well as the lowest cylinder power of 1.25D, which allows surgeons to correct more of their astigmatic patients. Both preloaded lenses also offer the benefits of a zero spherical aberration (SA) optic with excellent focus tolerance and contrast sensitivity as well as StableFlex™ technology, which provides improved material properties to deliver more rapid unfolding and enhanced optic recovery following delivery. Because both lenses are uniform power center-to-edge, neither are affected by tilt and decentration.

About enVista® IOLs
The enVista® family of lenses, which include monofocal and toric IOLs, remain the only single-piece, hydrophobic acrylic lenses domestically available that have been proven to be glistening-free.1 They feature a unique set of attributes that help compensate for the eye's natural imperfections. The Trusight™ aspheric optic provides the benefits of excellent image quality as well the potential for increased resistance to scratches and abrasions that may occur during loading and surgical manipulation. Step-vaulted AccuSet™ haptics allow for extensive interaction with the capsular bag to aid in securing the lens position. The SureEdge™ design features a continuous 360-degree square edge; similar square edge designs have been shown to have the potential to prevent posterior capsular opacification compared to round edge designs.2,3,4
