HYDROPHOBIC ACRYLIC GLISTENING-FREE IOL PODEYE: GLISTENING-FREE HYDROPHOBIC ACRYLIC IOL Most of the hydrophobic IOLs on the market are developing glistenings after implantation which can impact on the vision quality. Glistenings are favored by: • the cast-molding process (compared to lathe-cutting process) • environment changes (dry conditioned and implanted in an aqueous environment) • the lack of control of water content PodEye glistening-free. Another hydrophobic IOL with glistenings. PodEye is guaranteed 100% glistening-free thanks to: • the lathe-cutting process instead of the cast-molding process • its packaging in water to avoid medium changes during implantation • the control of water content in the material at the equilibrium The combination of material and design will likely contribute to low PCO rates and optimized in-the-bag biomechanical stability 1 Reference : 1.Christophe Pagnoulle, PhD, Dimitriya Bozukova, PhD, Laure Gobin, PhD, Virginie Bertrand, MSc, Marie-Claire Gillet-De Pauw, Phd: Assessment of new-generation glistening-free hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens material, J Cataract Refract Surg 2012; 38: 1271-1277. INJECTION SYSTEM FOR MICROINCISION PodEye can be implanted through a 2.0 mm incision with the Medicel Accuject injector. Medicel Accuject TM 2.2 Single-use lens injection system for injection of one-piece foldable lenses The new Microwaves Technology limits the tendency of the hydrophobic haptics to stick together during injection.
