On March 9, the world's first product providing33The continuous vision intraocular lens for near vision in centimeters was successfully implanted for the first time in China at the Eye Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine,Johnson & Johnson VisionTECNIS Synergy跃无级®Intraocular lens.

The introduction of this product in China will further enhance the postoperative visual quality for patients with refractive cataracts, providing high-quality, full-range vision at any distance from far to near for patients with cataracts and presbyopia in China, promoting high-quality development in China's cataract treatment field.

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness globally, and surgery remains the only effective treatment to date. According to statistics from the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, in China60To89The incidence rate of cataracts in the age group is approximately80%, and gradually showing a trend of becoming younger.

With the extension of life expectancy and the improvement of living standards, elderly people have higher requirements for visual quality. They want not only to see clearly but also to meet various life needs, such as using mobile phones and other electronic devices, self-driving trips, and outdoor sports. The improvement of cataract surgery technology and significant innovations in the research and development of intraocular lenses have successfully transitioned restorative cataract surgery into the era of refractive cataract surgery.

It is understood that, compared with European and American people, Asians have shorter arm lengths and higher requirements for close-range vision. The average habitual viewing distance for daily activities such as reading, using mobile phones, applying makeup, and even trimming nails is approximately...33.95Centimeters.

Moreover, compared to the simple strokes of English, Chinese characters are more complex and require almost twice the visual acuity for processing.1.54times, therefore, this also imposes more refined requirements on the near vision of Asians.

As the world's first continuous range of vision intraocular lens providing 33cm near vision, the TECNIS Synergy™ Toric II IOL enables the vast majority of patients to achieve high-quality, continuous vision from 33 cm to far distances without needing to extend their arms or adjust to the focal distance of the IOL after implantation.

It is understood that, compared with European and American people, Asians have shorter arm lengths and higher requirements for close-up vision. The average habitual viewing distance for daily activities such as reading, using mobile phones, applying makeup, and even trimming nails is...33.95Centimeters.

Moreover, compared to the simple strokes of English, Chinese characters are more complex and require almost twice the visual acuity for processing.1.54times, therefore, this also imposes more refined requirements on the near vision of Asians.

As the world's first continuous range of vision intraocular lens providing 33cm near vision, the TECNIS Synergy™ Toric IOL enables the vast majority of patients to achieve high-quality, uninterrupted vision from 33 cm to far distances without needing to stretch out their arms or adjust to the focal distance of the IOL after implantation.
