Description
The HOYA iSert PY-60AD is a sophisticated intraocular lens (IOL) designed to enhance surgical outcomes in cataract procedures. This 3-piece monofocal lens features an aspheric optic, crafted from hydrophobic acrylic, aimed at providing clear and precise vision correction. Its design includes a sharp optic edge to minimize posterior capsule opacification, contributing to long-term visual clarity.
Preloaded Injector System
The lens comes with a fully preloaded injector system, known as iSert, which significantly streamlines the surgical process. By eliminating the need for cleaning and sterilization of reusable injectors, it reduces setup time and enhances surgical efficiency. The front tip of the injector has an outer diameter of 1.89 mm, facilitating precise lens delivery.
Material and Design
- Optic Material: Hydrophobic acrylic
- Haptic Material: Blue PMMA
- Haptic Design: Modified C-loop with 5° angulation
The haptics are chemically bonded and designed with a modified C-loop configuration, ensuring stable positioning within the capsular bag. The lens measures 6.0 mm in optic diameter and 12.5 mm in overall length, with a power range from +6.00 to +30.00 diopters in 0.50 D increments.
Advanced Features
The lens includes a UV filter and is manufactured with precision through lathe-cutting and tumble-polishing techniques. Its aberration-correcting aspheric design is intended to enhance visual outcomes by reducing optical aberrations.
Surgical Benefits
The preloaded system is designed to reduce the risk of loading errors and instrument contamination, thereby increasing surgical throughput without the need for additional staff or operating rooms. This innovation is intended to benefit both surgeons and patients by providing a reliable and efficient lens implantation process.
Longevity and Safety
With an expected lifetime of 20 years, the HOYA iSert PY-60AD offers long-term reliability. While there are no known contraindications for adults, surgeons should consider individual medical conditions. Potential adverse events include wound leak, dry eye syndrome, and other ocular complications, which should be carefully monitored.
Global Impact
Since its launch in 2007, over 10 million of these lenses have been implanted worldwide, reflecting its trusted performance in the field of ophthalmology. Comprehensive handling instructions are provided to ensure proper use of the injector system, contributing to successful surgical outcomes.
