Nearly 9 out of 10 patients enjoy freedom from glasses after receiving the TECNIS Multifocal Lens!

Today, for people who have cataracts, there is a procedure to remove the clouded natural lens of the eye and replace it with an advanced, artificial TECNIS Multifocal Lens. This unique implantable lens is proven to provide excellent vision at all distances, under all lighting conditions'- day and night. Even better, the TECNIS Multifocal Lens has helped thousands of people gain independence from glasses for the first time.

Vision changes with age
Understanding these changes brings you
one step closer to reclaiming youthful vision.

What is a cataract?
Cataracts are a result of the natural lens inside the eye becoming cloudy, brown, or yellow. As a result, light is scattered by the lens before it can focus on the retina, so vision becomes blurry or dark and colors become muted.

SIGNS OF CATARACTS

• Difficulty driving
• Difficulty seeing at night
• Difficulty viewing a computer screen
• Colors appear dim and faded
• Frequent change in glasses prescription

What is presbyopia?
Presbyopia is a common age-related condition. Beginning around the age of 40, the natural lens inside the eye begins to harden and become less flexible. This reduces the eye's ability to switch focus from near, far, in between, and back again.

SIGNS OF PRESBYOPIA

• Loss of ability to read up close
• Difficulty reading in bright light
• Difficulty viewing a computer screen
• Need reading glasses or bifocals
• Holding objects further away to read

Exceptional full range of vision
Only the advanced TECNIS Multifocal Lens enables you to see clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances without glasses in all light conditions.

Compare the following images. This first image demonstrates what you might see with a traditional implantable lens. Although distance vision is clear, notice how the coffee cup and dashboard are blurry.	Now, compare the second image, which demonstrates vision with the TECNIS Multifocal Lens. You can see the coffee cup close up, the dashboard at intermediate, as well as road signs in the distance clearly.

Nighttime driving
Immediately after surgery, some patients may notice rings around lights when driving at night. However, as the eye adjusts to the lens, the visual impression of rings may lessen or go away over time.

The procedure to remove cataracts and replace the natural lens of th eye is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. Each yea, over 15 million cataract and lens implant procedures are performed worldwide.²

This proven procedure allows the TECNIS® Multifocal Lens to be implanted in a brief outpatient procedure.

Patient satisfaction
An overwhelming majority of people who have received the TECNIS Multifocal Lens are very satisfied with their vision following the procedure. 94% said they would elect to do it again.¹
