Lentis Mplus Toric IOL
Oculentis GmbH (Berlin, Germany) announced the launch of its
Lentis Mplus toric lens, occurring at the World Ophthalmology
Congress in Berlin. According to the company, this multifocal toric IOL
combines the presbyopia-correcting
features of the patented Lentis Mplus
IOL, which is characterized by its sector-
shaped near-vision segment, with
the astigmatic correction of the Lentis
Tplus technology. Tailor-made solutions
are available for patients with
both presbyopia and corneal astigmatism.
The unique sector-shaped nearvision
segment of the Lentis Mplus
toric eliminates image jumps and loss
of contrast sensitivity, in particular reflections often experienced in twilight
or glare conditions, the company said. Made of the company's
HydroSmart acrylic material, the lens provides pupil independence,
aberration neutrality, a high degree of rotational stability, and a near
addition of 3.00 D.
