MILAN — The Tecnis multifocal toric one-piece IOL and the Tecnis iTec preloaded delivery system have received the CE mark in Europe and are being launched immediately in CE mark countries, Abbott Medical Optics officials said here.

"Cataract surgeons in Europe now have two new products available to address the unique lifestyle needs of their patients. By receiving [the] CE mark for the Tecnis multifocal toric IOL and the Tecnis iTec preloaded delivery system, Abbott continues to demonstrate its commitment to advancing cataract vision care innovation and providing high-quality patient outcomes," Jim Mazzo, senior vice president, Abbott Medical Optics, said in a press release from the company.

The company announced the launch at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting.
