Product: Tecnis Synergy and Tecnis Synergy Toric II IOLs
Top Line: Johnson & Johnson Vision announced the availability of Tecnis Synergy and Tecnis Synergy Toric II IOLs in the United States and Canada. These next-generation PC-IOLs combine the best of extended depth of focus and multifocal technologies to deliver the widest range of continuous vision and the best near vision among leading PC-IOLs without the visual gaps seen with some existing multifocal technologies, according to Johnson & Johnson.
The Tecnis Synergy PC-IOL was first launched in Europe and Asia Pacific in 2019. Ophthalmologists in North America can learn more about the Tecnis Synergy PC-IOL portfolio at the American Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons Annual Meeting in Las Vegas in July. 
Close Up: The Tecnis Synergy IOL is built on the legacy Tecnis platform and delivers excellent performance, image contrast, and patient outcomes:  
•Widest range of continuous vision among leading PC-IOLs—93 percent of patients achieved 20/25 or better binocular distance-corrected visual acuity.
• Best near vision—patients gained an additional line of visual acuity at near distances versus a leading PC-IOL.
• Superior image contrast—achieved two times better image contrast in low lighting conditions compared to IOLs of comparable range.
• High satisfaction with nighttime activities—97 percent of patients were able see steps or curbs, 96 percent were able to see a menu in a dimly lit restaurant, and 90 percent were able to see objects and read street signs.
• Reduced need for glasses—9 out of 10 patients studied didn’t wear glasses after surgery.
