Johnson & Johnson announces approval of TECNIS PureSee Intraocular Lens

Johnson & Johnson has recently announced U.S. FDA approval of TECNIS PureSee IOL, an extended depth of focus intraocular lens intended for use in cataract surgery. TECNIS PureSee IOL delivers clarity of vision for patients, with 97% of them reporting no very bothersome visual disturbances.

“Today marks an exciting milestone for people living with cataracts. The approval of the TECNIS PureSee IOL gives surgeons an important new lens option, reflecting our deep commitment to innovation that delivers high patient satisfaction and supports vision solutions tailored to individual lifestyle needs,” said Peter Menziuso, Company Group Chairman, Vision, Johnson & Johnson. “Cataract surgery is often a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for patients to restore and enhance their vision. With the addition of TECNIS PureSee IOL to our portfolio, we can help even more patients regain not just sight, but the quality, range, and visual performance they expect from a Johnson & Johnson product.”

Note that Cataracts naturally form as the eye ages, making everyday activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces more difficult. Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed procedures worldwide, offering patients the removal of a clouded natural lens and also the opportunity to enhance their vision. In a single procedure, TECNIS PureSee IOL addresses both cataract-related vision loss and the effects of presbyopia, which occurs when your eyes gradually lose the ability to see objects clearly up close. Currently, an estimated 94 million people aged 50 years and over have moderate-to-severe distance vision impairment or blindness that could be corrected through lens replacement surgery.

In addition, TECNIS PureSee IOL is the first and only U.S. FDA‑approved extended depth of focus IOL with no warning on loss of contrast sensitivity. Contrast sensitivity refers to a patient’s ability to distinguish an object from its background, an important part of visual quality, especially in low‑light or foggy conditions.
