Bausch + Lomb Receives CE Mark Approval for Preloaded LuxLife Full Range of Vision IOLs
Bausch + Lomb has received CE Mark approval for the LuxLife full range of vision IOLs.
According to B+L, the preloaded IOL provides patients with natural, continuous vision, from distance to near. In a multicenter, comparative clinical study evaluating the LuxLife IOL versus the monofocal LuxGood IOL, patients experienced excellent binocular visual outcomes with LuxLife at all distances, near, intermediate and far.[1] The LuxLife lens also delivered a high level of patient satisfaction with 95.6% of patients reporting spectacle independence at intermediate distance and 89.5% at near.[1]
With Pure Refractive Optics (PRO) technology, the non-diffractive IOL has an uninterrupted, continuous refractive surface across the entire optical diameter. LuxLife also features two unique Allied Ray Technology (ART) zones which control and refocus light rays. Together, PRO Technology and ART Zones ensure LuxLife does not lose any light to the retina, unlike diffractive full range of vision IOLs, B+L stated in a news release.
With a broad range of cylinders, from +0.75D to +6.00D, the LuxLife IOL enables surgeons to treat the 79.5% of patients with more than 0.5D of corneal astigmatism prior to cataract surgery.[2] During implantation, surgeons can easily select their preferred injection technique with the preloaded LuxLife lens’ dual injector system.
LuxLife IOLs will be commercially available in Europe in the coming weeks, followed closely by a toric version of the lens. Submissions for regulatory approvals in other countries are ongoing.
The announcement follows the recent launch of enVista Envy full range of vision lenses in the United States and Canada and enVista Aspire intermediate-optimized IOLs in Europe.
