Four-Point Design For Unsurpassed Centration And Stability
The four-haptic design of the Akreos AO Lens maximizes contact between the lens and the capsular bag to optimize stability.
This design provides enduring lens centration after capsular bag contraction, which typically occurs within the first six months following surgery.
A study has shown minimal decentration with this haptic design up to one year following implantation.1
Square-Edge Design With 360° Continuous Posterior Barrier Edge Minimizes PCO
To help prevent PCO, the Akreos AO Lens maintains direct contact with the posterior capsule,
forming a mechanical barrier against lens epithelial cell (LEC) migration.
The optics and haptics of the lens have square edges and a 360° continuous posterior barrier edge,
further inhibiting LEC migration.2,3,4
Three Overall Lengths For Optimal Fit
Because the diameter of the capsular bag generally increases with the axial length of the eye,
the Akreos AO Lens is available in three overall lengths, for optimal fit and stability in hyperopic,
emmetropic and myopic eyes.
