BERLIN — Human Optics AG launched a new artificial iris and the Add-On IOL here at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting.

The IOL can be implanted into the sulcus in addition to a traditional IOL that has been implanted in the capsular bag, according to company literature.

The silicone artificial iris is customized to match a patient's fellow eye in aniridia cases. There are two versions of the artificial iris: one with polymer meshwork for sutured fixation and one without for sutureless implantation in the ciliary sulcus.

The Add-On IOL can be implanted in a single-session strategy during cataract surgery or in a two-step implantation after cataract surgery. The lens offers fine-tuning options for vision correction, according to company literature.

The lens features a 7-mm optic with a concave posterior surface and an overall diameter of 14 mm.

The C-loop haptics have 45° sulcus contact for stability, the literature said.

The Diffractiva and Torica are the two models of lenses available.
