Akreos® AO

An Aspheric Optic for improved quality of visionTraditional spherical IOLs create spherical aberration and reduce contrast sensitivity

• With Akreos AO, unique aspheric anterior and posterior surfaces are aberration neutral
• The result? Clinical outcomes demonstrate a reduction in overall higher order aberrations^1^
• Contrast sensitivity under photopic or mesopic lighting conditions is similar to silicone aspheric aberrated IOL^2^

Uniform power designed to work in Every Eye

• No eye is optically perfect^3^
• Constant power from centre to edge helps to improve vision by providing consistent power across the entire optic surface
• Akreos AO is designed to provide predictable, repeatable refractive outcomes for all cataract patients, regardless of corneal shape, pupil size, as well as pupil or capsular bag centration
• Clinical results show excellent high and low contrast BCVA comparable to a middle-age phakic eye^4^

Aberration-free design helps to enhance depth of field

• The phakic eye has some natural level of positive spherical aberration^5^
• Positive spherical aberration helps to increase the depth of focus^6,7^
• Akreos AO maintains the natural, positive spherical aberrations compared to aspheric, aberrated IOLs^8^
• With its aberration-free design, Akreos AO helps to significantly improve depth of field in comparison to an aspheric aberrated IOL^8^

A visual Difference Patients Appreciate

• A masked, subjective patient assessment following cataract surgery showed that twice as many patients prefer the vision in their Akreos AO eye^2-8^
• Patients also reported fewer visual disturbances in their Akreos AO eye compared to the silicone aspheric aberrated IOL eye^2-8^

For Optimised Effectiveness against PCO

• The Square-Edge Technology and a 360° posterior barrier in order to reduce cell migration following implantation^9^
• EPCO analysis shows just how effective the Akreos AO design is in blocking cell growth^4^

Efficient Implantation through an Unenlarged Phaco Incision

• The Akreos Single-Use Insertion Device enables implantation of the Akreos AO through a 2.8mm phaco incision
• The flat loading, single-hand injection makes quick work of lens implantation
• Improved plunger design provides symmetrical unfolding and easier placement of the lead haptics into the capsular bag
