Description

The 67B ANIRIDIA IOL by Morcher is a specialized intraocular lens designed for patients undergoing aphakia or cataract surgery, particularly those with aniridia or significant iris defects. This innovative device serves a dual purpose, functioning as both an artificial iris and a lens, providing essential light occlusion and visual rehabilitation.

Key Features

• Monofocal Design: The lens employs a refractive optical principle with a spheric optic, incorporating added spherical aberration (S.A. = +0.2μ) to enhance visual outcomes. It does not correct astigmatism, focusing solely on monofocal vision.
• Biconvex Optic Shape: Crafted in black, the lens offers UV-light protection, though it lacks additional blue light control. The cosmetic outcome is particularly noted in patients with lighter-colored irises, as no color variations are available.

Material and Construction

• Optic and Haptics Material: Constructed from black PEMA and PMMA, with haptics made from the same PMMA material. The lens features zero-degree haptic angulation, ensuring stability within the eye.
• Dimensions: The overall diameter is 12.5 mm, with an optic (pupillary aperture) diameter of 3.0 mm. The diaphragm size ranges from 3.0 mm to 10.0 mm, requiring an incision size of 5.2 mm, and in some cases, a larger incision over 10.0 mm.

Optical Properties

• Refractive Index: 1.49
• A Constant: 119.6 (when sclera sutured)
• ACD Constant: 5.37 or 5.90 (when sclera sutured)

These properties are crucial for achieving the desired visual outcomes post-surgery.

Regulatory Information

The 67B ANIRIDIA IOL is not FDA approved and is available in the United States solely through clinical trials or compassionate use exemptions. This lens is part of Morcher’s extensive line of iris-reconstruction lenses, offering various optic diameters to meet diverse patient needs.

Intended Placement

Designed for sulcus placement or scleral suturing, the lens requires scleral fixation using 9-0 Prolene with a spatula needle. This precise placement is vital for optimal performance and patient satisfaction.

This product exemplifies Morcher’s commitment to advancing ocular health through specialized solutions, addressing complex visual impairments with precision and care.
