Patient review the Vivity® IOL*

 


 

 

“I have to admit I was nervous about having a presbyopia-correcting IOL but I’m very happy. I would be very disappointed if I hadn’t been told about Vivity® but optometrists need to understand that technology has improved…I went in thinking I wanted a monofocal lens,” recalls Janine, “The surgeon discussed all the options available; however, when the surgeon talked to me about Vivity®, and how it provides an extended range [of vision] without the glare and halos associated with diffractive lenses, I decided to proceed with this option.”3

 

“It’s an amazing invention!* The range [of vision] feels continuous and I still use glasses for near [vision] at work during the week, but on weekends I don’t use them at all. The colour and contrast are great too.”4

“In the symphony, for example, I can see every instrument, even the musicians at the back of the stage. So it's easy, easy. just don't need glasses and I don't take my glasses to the opera. I never thought of it. When I go in public, especially to places where there are a lot of people who are about my age. I am one of the very few people who is not wearing glasses.”

Former Broadcaster and Vivity® IOL wearer  

 

“I'm seeing a lot more nuancing of colour. Even on a gray day like today, there's clarity and colour with the panoptic lenses. It's amazing. It really is. For computer use, they're excellent. I just love it. It's effortless. Drove the other night in the rain, which is not easy. Yeah, I had no problem. It's been a huge change. It's been such a positive, good experience. I just can't say enough about it. It's been amazing. I feel 20 years younger because I'm engaged with life again. I'm back in the mix. I just can't recommend it more. I just feel like a whole new person.”
