Unique Mechanism of Action
The Clareon® Vivity® IOL uses wavefront shaping technology to deliver distance, intermediate, and functional near vision for patients, as well as a clinically proven exceptionally low rate of visual disturbances.1-4
The wavefront-shaping technology of the Clareon® Vivity® IOL is called X-WAVE™ Technology and is proprietary to Alcon.
Wavefront-shaping stretches the light. It doesn’t bend light like refraction, or split light like diffraction.
Just like a monofocal, Clareon® Vivity® utilises essentially all of the transmitted light energy that passes through the lens. The smooth surface transition elements on the Clareon® Vivity® IOL stretch and shift the wavefront to provide a full range of vision with functional near visual acuity to help reduce spectacle dependence.1-4
What is Clareon® Vivity®?
Clareon® Vivity® wavefront-shaping technology explained.
Surface Transition Elements Affect Light Energy Distribution*
The proprietary, wavefront-shaping design creates a monofocal visual disturbance profile and a continuous range of vision for patients.1-4
With the Clareon® Vivity® IOL, light spans a continuous focal range, instead of being split amongst multiple focal points.17
*Simulated photopic through-focus point spread function (light intensity [energy]) – polychromatic.
