New TECNIS PureSee™ Intraocular Lens – First Time in Central India at ASG Eye Hospital, Bhopal
In a first in central India, ASG Eye Hospital in Bhopal uses TECNIS PureSee™ IOL, a product by Johnson & Johnson, a global leader in eye health. The next-generation intraocular lens is for individuals with presbyopia, and features a purely refractive design that delivers high-quality, uninterrupted vision with high best-in-category contrast and low-light performance, comparable to a monofocal IOL.
As per reports, India conducts nearly 65 lakh cataract removal surgeries every year under the National Programme for Control of Blindness and Visual Impairment (NPCBVI), with rare cases receiving advanced optical IOLs specifically designed for addressing issues of astigmatism and presbyopia. Introduction of TECNIS PureSee™ IO in India gives surgeons and a growing number of patients the choice of a premium intraocular lens that combines clarity of vision with reduced visual symptoms, such as halos, glares, and starbursts.
A common problem with most IOLs is that if they offer clear sight at all distances without spectacles, they may not be able to remove glares and halos. These issues are finally addressed by the purely refractive design of TECNIS PureSee™ lens, therefore improving the overall outcomes for both patients and surgeons.
Reports claim that cataract prevalence in central India is notably high, especially among individuals over 60 years old. ASG Eye Hospital’s initiation to bring the futuristic TECNIS PureSee™ IO to this part of the nation not only makes it accessible to thousands in need, but also promises a clearer, brighter tomorrow.
