Johnson & Johnson Vision to Launch Tecnis Synergy IOL and Showcase Latest Clinical Data at ESCRS

Johnson & Johnson Vision will highlight key clinical data and the latest solutions in its growing portfolio of innovative products designed to improve vision care across generations at the upcoming European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) 2019 Annual Meeting in Paris, France, September 14-18.

“As a global leader in eye health, Johnson & Johnson Vision is continuing to support eye care professionals with a new portfolio of products from innovative intraocular lenses that are changing the trajectory of eye health to next-generation IOL insertion systems that are enhancing the surgical experience,” Tom Frinzi, Worldwide President, Surgical, Johnson & Johnson Vision, said in a company news release. “At ESCRS this year, in addition to unveiling our newest intraocular lens, Tecnis Synergy IOL, we are hosting a number of educational events and presenting a range of new innovations and data findings. We are also putting community and sustainability at the heart of our ESCRS activities. We will be hosting an interactive space for healthcare professionals—the J&J Vision Lighthouse—as well as creating our first ever zero-waste booth.”

At ESCRS, Johnson & Johnson Vision will be showcasing innovations designed to address the needs of those living with cataracts, which cause vision to deteroriate over time, if left untreated.

The company will offer a series of educational sessions for the ophthamology community about the latest advancements in surgical vision, as well as announce the upcoming availability of its new Tecnis Synergy IOL and preloaded SmartLOAD Delivery Technology cartridge designed to optimize monofocal IOL delivery with reusable Unfolder Vital inserter.

Furthermore, Johnson & Johnson Vision will share insights around its latest TearScience LipiScan Dynamic Meibomian Imager and LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation suite of products and expanded availability across Europe.
