Description
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD is an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) designed specifically for use in cataract surgery. Developed by HOYA Surgical Optics, Inc., this lens offers a range of features that enhance visual outcomes and surgical efficiency.
Key Features
- Aspheric Monofocal Design: The lens is crafted with an aspheric, aberration-correcting optic design, providing clear and focused vision post-surgery.
- Yellow Lens with Filters: Equipped with UV and blue light filters, the lens helps protect the eye from harmful light exposure.
- Sharp Optic Edge: This design feature reduces the risk of posterior capsule opacification (PCO), a common post-surgical complication.
Material and Construction
- Hydrophobic Acrylic Optic: The lens optic is made from 97% soft acrylic, ensuring durability and compatibility with the eye.
- PMMA Haptics: The haptics are composed of blue polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), providing stable positioning within the eye.
- 3-Piece Configuration: Includes a modified C-loop haptic design with 5° angulation for optimal placement.
Dimensions
- Optic Diameter: 6.0 mm
- Overall Length: 12.5 mm
Injector System
The iSert PY-60AD comes with a fully preloaded injector system, designed for single use. This system simplifies the implantation process, eliminating the need for cleaning or sterilizing reusable injectors. The injector tip has an outer diameter of 1.89 mm, facilitating precise delivery into the eye.
Power Range
Available in a power range from +6.00 to +30.00 diopters, in 0.50 D increments, the lens accommodates a wide variety of visual correction needs. Optimized optical constants are provided for accurate power calculation using various formulas such as Haigis, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, SRK/T, and SRK II.
Regulatory Information
The lens is CE marked (CE 0123) and protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 8647383 and 9265603, ensuring compliance with international standards.
Clinical Insights
With over 10 million IOLs implanted worldwide since its launch in 2007, the HOYA iSert PY-60AD demonstrates a strong clinical track record. It is expected to last up to 20 years, with no known contraindications for adults, though certain medical conditions may require special consideration by the surgeon.
Potential Adverse Events
While generally safe, potential adverse events may include wound leak, dry eye syndrome, capsule opacification, and other ocular complications. Surgeons are advised to consider these factors when planning the procedure.
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD represents a reliable choice for ophthalmic surgeons seeking high-quality visual outcomes and streamlined surgical processes.
