Benefits of the Akreos® IOLs with Advanced Optics (AO) Technology
- Thanks to the design of their optic, they do not introduce higher-order aberrations, providing a better quality of vision 1.2
- Uniform power from the center to the periphery of the optic, for a predictable visual outcome in all patients regardless of the shape of the cornea, size and center of the pupil or the capsular bag
- They maintain the natural positive spherical aberration of the cornea, which may resultin a greater depth of field compared with aberration correcting IOLs3

The Akreos® platform has an aspheric design that adapts to a wide range of patients*

The optical performance of an IOL with AO technology should be better than that of a standard spherical IOL

The Akreos® AO MICS and Akreos® AO lenses are crafted from an acrylic hydrophilic material that makes it optimal for today’s micro incision cataract surgery requirements. The lenses can be easily compressed to fit through a 1.8 mm incision; it unfolds smoothly once implanted into the eye and recovers its initial shape without damage.
- Minimize the surgically induced corneal astigmatism (SIA)1,2 and preserve optical properties of the cornea1,3
- Minimally traumatic surgery, providing better postoperative outcomes than standard small incision phacoemulsification
- MICS favors the use of fluidics, reducing the use of phacoemulsification power
- Reduces the risk for intraoperative anterior chamber instability
- Less incision bleeding during the surgery
- Higher structural stability of the anterior chamber
- Easy in construction and less incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis
