    The Clareon® Vivity® IOL is a presbyopia-correcting IOL that uses a next generation optical principle, called wavefront-shaping, that stretches and shifts the light1-2

     

    ✓ The Clareon® Vivity® IOL uses wavefront-shaping technology, which is invisible to the naked eye, making it virtually indistinguishable from the Clareon® monofocal1,2

     

    ✓ Surface Transition #1: A slightly elevated smooth plateau (~1 µm high) that stretches the wavefront, creating a continuous focal range2

     

    ✓ Surface Transition #2: A small curvature change (across the ~2.2 mm region) that shifts the wavefront to utilize all available light energy2

    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

    A graphic illustrating the range of vision with four different IOLs. The AcrySof® IQ monofocal IOL provides distance vision. The Symfony IOL provides distance, intermediate and near vision. The AT LARA IOL provides vision at distance and two intermediate focal points. The AcrySof IQ Vivity® IOL provides a continuous range of vision from distance to functional near.
