With Clareon Vivity, I can provide my patients a presbyopia-correcting IOL, significantly reducing their need for glasses.<sup>12<\/sup>\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nVivity\u2019s compelling real-world outcomes demonstrate that patients with certain mild comorbidities\u2014such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinopathy\/maculopathy, glaucoma, and dry eye\u2014as well as those with post-refractive eyes, can successfully receive presbyopia-correcting IOLs. The study further reported high patient satisfaction rates of over 90% across these diverse eye condition groups.<sup>12\u00b6<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Clareon Vivity will broaden my presbyopia correction offering to more patients, including those with ocular comorbidities like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), or dry eyes.<sup>13<\/sup> Clareon Vivity\u2019s broad range of dioptres and cylinders will help me address mild, moderate and high refractive error patients with a PCIOL,<sup>1<\/sup>\u201d said Dr. Merc\u00e8 Guarro, CEO Instituto de Oftalmologia M\u00e9dica y Quir\u00fargica OMIQ &amp; Head of Ophthalmology Department at Hospital Granollers. \u201cClareon Vivity is an excellent lens option that improves vision with a visual disturbance profile of a monofocal IOL, giving my patients the freedom to engage in activities they love, both during the day and at night.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nClareon is a pristine material with one of the lowest levels of haze and glistenings<sup>*\u2020<\/sup> compared to leading competitor IOLs, marking a significant advancement for surgeons and patients.<sup> 7,14,15 <\/sup>Clareon offers sharp, crisp vision with a proprietary edge designed to help reduce glare and posterior capsular opacification.<sup>6<\/sup> The lens\u2019 unique and proven STABLEFORCE<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Haptics provide excellent axial and rotational stability.<sup>5\u2021<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWhen we created Vivity, our goal was to develop an innovative lens that would minimize patients&#8217; reliance on glasses and simplify presbyopia correction for surgeons. We achieved this by designing a real EDOF lens, which has quickly become the world\u2019s most implanted EDOF. This lens is now available in our most advanced biomaterial to date, Clareon,<sup>1<\/sup>\u201d said Sunil Vasanth, Vice President Surgical Franchise, Europe.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nClareon Vivity leverages a wavefront-shaping optical principle, trademarked as X-WAVE\u2122 Technology, and uses proprietary transition elements to create advanced and delayed wavefronts, resulting in a continuously extended focal range.<sup>1-3\u00b5\u2016<\/sup> When compared to an aspheric monofocal, Clareon Vivity reduced spectacle dependence, provided comparable distance vision, and improved intermediate and near vision while maintaining overall mesopic contrast sensitivity. About 90% of the Vivity patients are highly satisfied with their visual outcomes and would choose a Vivity IOL again, and more than 9 in 10 patients said they would recommend Vivity to their friends and family.<sup>12\u00b6<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\nNow with the CE Mark of Clareon Vivity and Clareon Vivity Toric, surgeons in Europe have access to the full range of Clareon IOLs to meet the diverse needs of their patients, including Clareon Monofocal, Clareon Toric, Clareon PanOptix<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and Clareon PanOptix Toric \u2013 all available in ultraviolet absorbing and blue light filtering foldable options.<sup>1,16,17<\/sup> Clareon Vivity is inserted using Clareon Monarch<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> IV, an easy-to-use, reusable manual delivery system, and is also available in the AutonoMe<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Automated Pre-Loaded Delivery System.<sup>8,18<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information about Clareon Vivity and Clareon Vivity Toric, please visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fqrco.de%2FbfrBXz&amp;esheet=54228325&amp;newsitemid=20250324959798&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=MyAlcon.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=b2d991d07ccf3f01efb79870da1b8a83\">MyAlcon.com<\/a><b \/>or speak to your sales representative within Europe.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">About Cataracts<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nA cataract is a cloudy area in the natural lens of the eye that affects vision. As a cataract develops, the eye&#8217;s lens gradually becomes hard and cloudy, allowing less light to pass through, which makes it more difficult to see. Most cataracts result from normal aging, but radiation exposure, steroid use, diabetes and eye trauma can accelerate their development.<sup>10,19 <\/sup>Cataracts are the most common age-related eye condition and the leading cause of preventable blindness.<sup>20<\/sup> Cataracts are treated by removing the eye&#8217;s cloudy natural lens and surgically replacing it with an intraocular lens (IOL). More than 92% of cataract surgeries are considered successful, and patients typically return to their normal routines within 24 hours.<sup>19,21<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">About Vivity<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe non-diffractive Clareon Vivity Extended Vision Hydrophobic Posterior Chamber IOLs (referred to as Clareon Vivity) and AcrySof IQ Vivity Extended Vision Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens Model DFT015 (referred to as AcrySof IQ Vivity IOL) are UV-absorbing and blue-light-filtering foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs). Vivity IOL provides an extended range of vision from distance to near, with low levels of visual disturbances.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Potential side effects: <\/b>As with any surgery, there is an implicit risk, whether or not the IOL is implanted. The complications of the IOL implantation surgery ranges from minor side effects (usually temporary) to serious complications.<sup>1<\/sup> Patients with previous illnesses or disorders (such as chronic infections of the eye or eyelids, or diabetes) may present a higher risk of complications. Temporary surgical complications include, but are not limited to, reactions to medications such as irritation or mild allergic response, bleeding, redness, itching of the eye, sensitivity to light, swelling, corneal edema (swelling of the cornea), problems with the iris, cell growth in the IOL, and an increase temporary eye pressure. There is a small risk of needing further surgical treatment after the implantation of the initial IOL.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\nCareful preoperative evaluation and sound clinical judgment should be used by the surgeon to decide the benefit\/risk ratio before implanting a lens in a patient with ocular comorbidities as indicated in the IFU.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">About Alcon<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAlcon helps people see brilliantly.
