PARIS — The Tecnis and ReZoom multifocal IOLs, both from Advanced Medical Optics, were presented to clinicians here for the first time at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting. Both IOLs were granted the CE Mark by the European Union in recent weeks.

The Tecnis multifocal IOL was granted the CE Mark for treatment of aphakia after clear lens extraction in presbyopic patients, according to an AMO spokesperson. The Tecnis multifocal is available in powers from +5 D to +34 D in 0.5-D steps.

According to Ron Bache, AMO’s global director for refractive, the Tecnis multifocal IOL “is a better lens for the presbyopic patient” because it has a diffractive multifocal design and a modified prolate anterior surface.

The ReZoom IOL, billed by AMO as a “second-generation multifocal acrylic” will replace the Array multifocal IOL and will be marketed as a cataract product, AMO executives said. The lens is available in powers from +6 D to +30 D in 0.5-D steps, Mr. Bache said. The ReZoom IOL has “a higher quality of vision that both the patient and the surgeon will appreciate,” he said.
