Johnson & Johnson Vision Showcases New Veritas Vision System and Presents Latest Clinical Data at ESCRS 2021

Johnson & Johnson Vision will showcase the new Veritas Vision System and a range of clinical data relating to their products at the upcoming European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) 2021 Annual Meeting, October 8-11.

Veritas Vision System is a next-generation phaco system designed to address three critical areas: patient safety, surgeon efficiency and comfort. It features several innovations to provide a better surgical experience and is now available to experience in person for the first time in Europe at the Johnson & Johnson ESCRS Booth (#B14).

In addition, 29 scientific communications from both Johnson & Johnson Vision sponsored studies and investigator-initiated studies (IIS) will be presented, including Tecnis Synergy IOL, Tecnis Eyhance IOL and Tecnis Toric II IOL (a next-generation monofocal IOL launched earlier this year). Data presented at ESCRS will show excellent visual performance and rotational stability across the Tecnis IOL portfolio.^1-4

"It’s been another fantastic year for Johnson and Johnson Vision,” said Warren Foust, Worldwide President, Surgical at Johnson & Johnson Vision. “Not only are we celebrating 20 years of Tecnis but we’ve also just launched our Veritas Vision System, which is now available in Europe. The Veritas Vision System is designed to give better fluidics and increased chamber stability, and has had excellent feedback from the clinical community. Do come and speak to us at ESCRS to find out more.”

Key scientific abstracts related to Johnson & Johnson Vision at ESCRS 2021 (a complete listing is available at https://congress.escrs.org/programme/programme-overview/) include the following:

Tecnis Synergy IOL

• Clinical evaluation of a diffractive continuous-range-of-vision intraocular lens with the Salzburg Reading Desk
• Functional outcomes after binocular implantation of a continuous-range-of-vision IOL in refractive lens exchange patients
• Long term non-randomized results with a new continuous-range-of-vision PCIOL
• Visual outcomes in patients implanted with a new diffractive presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens
• Low light visual outcomes and satisfaction in patients implanted with a new diffractive presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (Tecnis Synergy IOL vs AcrySof IQ PanOptix IOL)

Tecnis Eyhance and Tecnis Toric II IOLs

• Comparative analysis of the visual performance achieved after cataract surgery with implantation of a standard monofocal or a monofocal intraocular lens with modified optical profile: a randomized clinical trial (Tecnis Eyhance IOL vs Vivinex)
• Visual acuity, wavefront aberration and defocus curves with enhanced monofocal and monofocal aspheric intraocular lens: A prospective, randomized study (Tecnis Eyhance IOL vs RayOne Aspheric )
• Rotational stability, visual performance, and surgeon satisfaction of Tecnis Toric II IOL (Model ZCU) intraocular lens

Veritas Vision System

• Performance of a new dual mode phacoemulsification system

TearScience LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation System

• Long-term evaluation of thermal pulsation system (LipiFlow) treatment for ocular surface disease due to meibomian gland dysfunction under two different controlled environments
