Johnson & Johnson Expands U.S. Availability of TECNIS PureSee IOL, an Advanced Lens Option for Cataract Surgeons and Patients

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is expanding the U.S. roll-out of its latest advancement in presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (PC-IOLs). TECNIS PureSee IOL is an extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens designed to support visual clarity and quality for patients undergoing cataract surgery. 3

"Patients today want vision solutions that support how they live their lives every day. TECNIS PureSee IOL builds on the trusted TECNIS platform to help meet those expectations while giving surgeons greater flexibility to personalize care."

Benefits of TECNIS PureSee IOL:

“With the full U.S. availability of TECNIS PureSee IOL, we are expanding access to an important extended depth of focus option that reflects our commitment to innovation, visual quality, and patient satisfaction,” 3 said Erin Powers, President, Surgical Vision, North America, Johnson & Johnson. “Patients today want vision solutions that support how they live their lives every day. TECNIS PureSee IOL builds on the trusted TECNIS platform to help meet those expectations while giving surgeons greater flexibility to personalize care.”

The expanded U.S. availability of TECNIS PureSee IOL comes during Cataract Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about this common and preventable cause of vision loss. Cataract surgery is one of the most common and safe procedures in the U.S., with a success rate of nearly 98%. 6 In a single procedure, TECNIS PureSee IOL addresses both cataract-related vision loss and the effects of presbyopia, 3 which occurs when your eyes gradually lose the ability to see objects clearly up close. 7 Nearly everyone will get presbyopia by the age of 50. 8

TECNIS PureSee IOL is the first and only U.S. FDA‑approved extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL with no warning on loss of contrast sensitivity. 3** Contrast sensitivity refers to a patient’s ability to distinguish an object from its background, an important part of visual quality, especially in low‑light or foggy conditions. Aspheric monofocal IOLs are widely considered the benchmark for preserving contrast sensitivity. By maintaining contrast sensitivity comparable to an aspheric monofocal IOL, TECNIS PureSee IOL helps patients experience the visual clarity and confidence they expect, while also benefiting from an extended range of vision. 3

“I was an investigator with the TECNIS PureSee IOL, so I have firsthand experience with this lens, and I’m excited to have this option in my practice for patients,” said Daniel Chang, MD, Cataract and Refractive Surgeon, Empire Eye & Laser Center. ^ “This is the first presbyopia-correcting lens I’ve seen that has similar, if not in some cases even fewer, night vision symptoms than a monofocal lens. 3 This is a very exciting time for the TECNIS platform. I think TECNIS PureSee IOL is going to be a landmark advancement.”

New patient lifestyle quiz

To further support patient education during Cataract Awareness Month, Johnson & Johnson is encouraging individuals to take a new patient lifestyle quiz designed to help them reflect on their daily activities, vision needs, and goals ahead of cataract surgery. Patients can use the quiz as a starting point for informed conversations with their eye care professional about which TECNIS IOL, including the TECNIS PureSee IOL, may be right for them.

INDICATIONS and IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for TECNIS PureSee™ IOL and TECNIS PureSee™ Toric II IOLs with TECNIS SIMPLICITY™ Delivery System

Rx Only

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The TECNIS SIMPLICITY™ Delivery System is used to fold and assist in inserting the TECNIS PureSee™ IOL, which is indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia in adult patients with less than 1 diopter of pre-existing corneal astigmatism in whom a cataractous lens has been removed. The lens mitigates the effects of presbyopia by providing an extended depth of focus. Compared to an aspheric monofocal IOL, the TECNIS PureSee™ IOL provides improved intermediate visual acuity, while maintaining comparable distance visual acuity. The lens is intended for capsular bag placement only.

The TECNIS SIMPLICITY™ Delivery System is used to fold and assist in inserting the TECNIS PureSee™ Toric II IOLs, which are indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia and for reduction of refractive astigmatism in adult patients with greater than or equal to 1 diopter of preoperative corneal astigmatism in whom a cataractous lens has been removed. The lenses mitigate the effects of presbyopia by providing an extended depth of focus. Compared to an aspheric monofocal IOL, the TECNIS PureSee™ Toric II IOLs provide improved intermediate visual acuity, while maintaining comparable distance visual acuity. The lenses are intended for capsular bag placement only.

WARNINGS

PRECAUTIONS

Before Surgery

During Surgery

24. Potential complications generally associated with cataract surgery include, but are not limited to: endophthalmitis/intraocular infection, hypopyon, hyphema, IOL dislocation, persistent cystoid macular edema, pupillary block, retinal detachment/tear, persistent corneal stromal edema, persistent uveitis, persistent raised intraocular pressure (IOP) requiring treatment (e.g., AC tap), retained lens material, or toxic anterior segment syndrome, or any other adverse event that leads to permanent visual impairment or requires surgical or medical intervention to prevent permanent visual impairment.
