Bausch and Lomb
 Crystalens is an accommodating intraocular lens that, unlike a standard IOL, can treat both a person's cataracts and presbyopia—loss of near and intermediate vision.

Alcon
 For patients with cataracts and presbyopia, there is the ACRYSOF® RESTOR® lens, which corrects for both conditions at the same time, eliminating the need for spectacles after surgery in most patients.
 For patients with cataracts and astigmatism, there is the ACRYSOF® Toric lens, which corrects for both conditions simultaneously.

Surgical Technology - Phacoemulsification or Phaco

Phaco refers to modern cataract surgery in which the eye's internal lens is emulsified with an ultrasonic handpiece, and aspirated from the eye.


The INFINITI® Vision System from Alcon allows physicians to provide patients with customized cataract surgery. This approach combines unparalleled fluidics with two unique energy delivery systems, providing surgeons increased efficiency and the ability to customize cataract lens removal to each patient. The system's OZIL® Torsional Handpiece delivers side-to-side, oscillating ultrasonic movement, enhancing surgeon control during surgery. Increased surgical control delivers greater potential for obtaining better surgical outcomes and safety than with traditional cataract removal technologies. This approach also supports the direction of more and more cataract surgeons towards micro-incisional cataract removal.


The WHITESTAR Signature™ System from Abbott Medical Optics is more than just the latest phaco technology — it's an all-new surgical platform. It represents a breakthrough in safe, easy lens removal technology that has never been available to the cataract surgeon — until now. And it comes from the company that has pioneered virtually every major breakthrough in phacoemulsification in the past two decades. Only the WHITESTAR Signature™ System combines the safety of revolutionary Fusion™ Fluidics with the optimized cavitation of WHITESTAR® Technology. The integration of these technologies creates the versatility needed to remove both hard and soft lenses.
