Johnson & Johnson Vision to Present and Support 43 Company-Sponsored and Investigator-Led Studies at ASCRS
Johnson & Johnson Vision will present and support 43 company-sponsored and investigator-led studies evaluating innovation, outcomes and satisfaction rates across its surgical portfolio at the 2023 American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) annual meeting in San Diego, May 5-8. A complete listing of abstracts and events can be found on the ASCRS website.
“At Johnson & Johnson Vision, we are reimagining the scale and impact we can make across a patient’s life to pave the way for a new future of eye health,” said Lori Tierney, President of Americas, Johnson & Johnson Vision. "We are looking forward to sharing outcomes data at ASCRS that highlight how we are building on our proud legacy of firsts and elevating the standard of care for patients by pushing the frontiers of science and technology.”
At the meeting, Johnson & Johnson Vision will also debut its new Elita femtosecond laser. Surgeons will have an opportunity to learn first-hand how Elita delivers surgeon confidence and accuracy, practice efficiency, and offers improved visual outcomes and recovery for patients.
“Our team of innovators consistently deliver solutions that are at the forefront of technological development, enabling surgeons to provide their patients with exceptional visual outcomes,” said Rajesh Rajpal, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Global Head of Clinical and Medical Affairs, Johnson & Johnson Vision. “This year at ASCRS, we are proud to present our legacy and new state-of-the-art surgical systems and Tecnis portfolio of IOLs that reliably deliver the outstanding results surgeons and their patients are looking for in vision correction.”
Highlights of Data to be Presented at the Meeting
Studies Reinforce Excellent Outcomes with Tecnis Symfony OptiBlue, Offering Minimized Dysphotopsia Profile and Full Range of Vision
The Tecnis Symfony OptiBlue, a diffractive EDOF IOL, was designed to deliver superior contrast and low-light performance. Data being presented shows that the newest Tecnis PC-IOL provided significant improvements in patient-reported symptoms of halos and starbursts* and enabled a full range of vision when paired with the Tecnis Synergy, a hybrid multifocal EDOF IOL.

- Paper Presentation: “Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Implantation of a Pair of Two Different Violet-Filtering Presbyopia-Correcting IOLs.” Rocha K. Saturday, May 6, 2023, 8:05 AM – 8:10 AM, SDCC – Upper Level, Room 5A.
Data that Shows Tecnis Eyhance is Designed to Slightly Extend the Depth of Focus When Non-Dominant Eye is Targeted for Monovision
The Tecnis Eyhance IOL is a monofocal lens designed to slightly extend depth of focus. This new study reinforces that the lens delivers on this promise. Moreover, when non-dominant eyes were targeted for mini monovision, versus emmetropia for both eyes, patients achieved a better range of vision with no increases in visual disturbances.

Long-Term Data that Reinforce the Safety and Efficacy of iDESIGN 2.0
The iDESIGN Refractive Studio is the first and only topo-integrated, wavefront-guided technology, offering personalized laser vision correction. Long-term outcomes data being presented underscore that the system delivers high levels of visual acuity gain and patient-reported satisfaction, with a low incidence of complications that is in line with other treatment formats.
