The TECNIS IOL is a WaveFront designed monofocal intraocular lens implant, which corrects for higher order aberrations and/or spherical aberrations induced by the patients cornea. Simply put, this lens has a high tech design that actually improves contrast sensitivity for distance.
The TECNIS lens improves functional vision as was shown clinically in night driving simulator testing. Based on these test results, the TECNIS IOL is likely to provide a meaningful safety benefit for older drivers and the drivers and pedestrians with whom they share the road. In simulated nighttime driving study, the TECNIS lens implant enabled drivers a 45 foot advantage in identification distance at 55mph compared to a traditional IOL (see diagram below).
The implantation of this lens is usually combined with other refractive procedures, such as Limbal Relaxing Incisions which eliminate astigmatism and other refractive errors. This results in a patient achieving better contrast sensitivity and color perception, especially in a low contrast environment, such as nighttime or fog. Whether climbing stairs, reading a menu by candlelight or even driving at night, the Tecnis lens allows the eye to function more like a younger person's eye.
* The TECNIS lens improved the detection distance for a pedestrian hazard by 45 feet compared to a traditional lens implant. These results show that the TECNIS lens enhances contrast in low light conditions.
