Description
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD is a highly specialized intraocular lens (IOL) designed for use in cataract surgery. This monofocal lens is crafted from hydrophobic acrylic material, featuring an aspheric design that corrects aberrations to enhance visual clarity. Its yellow optic is complemented by blue PMMA haptics, providing a stable and reliable structure for implantation in the eye's capsular bag.
Key Features
-
Optic Design: The lens includes a sharp optic edge to minimize posterior capsule opacification (PCO), ensuring long-term visual performance. The modified C-loop haptic configuration with 5° angulation aids in secure positioning within the eye.
-
Light Filtering: Equipped with UV and blue light filters, the lens offers protection against harmful light exposure, contributing to overall eye health.
Dimensions and Power
- Optic Diameter: 6.0 mm
- Overall Length: 12.5 mm
- Power Range: Available from +6.00 to +30.00 diopters in 0.50 D increments, allowing for precise customization to meet individual patient needs.
Injector System
The iSert PY-60AD comes with a fully preloaded injector system, simplifying the surgical process by eliminating the need for cleaning and sterilization of reusable injectors. The injector tip has an outer diameter of 1.89 mm, facilitating a minimally invasive implantation.
Optical Constants
The lens's optical performance is supported by an estimated A-constant of 118.4, with optimized constants available for various calculation formulas such as Haigis, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, SRK/T, and SRK II.
Regulatory and Clinical Information
-
CE Marked: The lens holds a CE mark (CE 0123), indicating compliance with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.
-
Global Use: Since its launch in 2007, over 10 million of these lenses have been implanted worldwide, demonstrating a strong track record of success.
-
Longevity: The expected lifetime of the lens is 20 years, with no need for replacement if it functions properly.
Post-Surgery Considerations
Patients receive an Implant Card after surgery, providing essential information about the lens. Potential adverse events associated with IOL implantation include wound leak, dry eye syndrome, capsule opacification, corneal complications, infection, and retinal detachment. While there are no known contraindications for adults, certain medical conditions may require special consideration by the surgeon.
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD offers a sophisticated solution for those undergoing cataract surgery, combining advanced optical technology with practical surgical features to support optimal visual outcomes.
