Indications and Important Safety Information

RISKS
There are risks to routine cataract surgery. This is irrelevant to the lens you choose. The problems could be minor, temporary, or affect your vision permanently. Complications are rare. These may include are worsening of your vision, bleeding, or infection. Pre-existing diseases or conditions may place you at higher risk of experiencing complications (e.g., more difficult recovery) after routine cataract surgery. Examples of pre-existing diseases or conditions are diabetes, heart disease and previous trauma to your eye.

With some IOLs, you may experience some loss in the sharpness of your vision, even with glasses. With these IOLs, you may have more difficulty driving at night or in poor visibility conditions. This can affect your ability to detect road hazards as quickly at night or in fog. You may also experience halos (rings around light), glare (reflected light, making it difficult to see) and starbursts (rays around light). A small number of patients may want to have their IOL removed. This can be due to lens-related optical/visual symptoms. You should discuss all risks and benefits with your eye doctor before surgery.

INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TECNIS FAMILY OF 1-PIECE IOLs

CAUTION

Federal law restricts this device to sale and use by or on the order of a physician.

INDICATIONS and IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for TECNIS SYMFONY™ and TECNIS SYMFONY™ TORIC EXTENDED RANGE OF VISION IOLs

The TECNIS Symfony™ Extended Range of Vision IOL, Model ZXR00, is indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia, in adult patients with less than 1 diopter of pre-existing corneal astigmatism, in whom a cataractous lens has been removed. The TECNIS Symfony™ Toric Extended Range of Vision IOLs, Models ZXT150, ZXT225, ZXT300, and ZXT375, are indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia and for reduction of residual refractive astigmatism in adult patients with greater than or equal to 1 diopter of preoperative corneal astigmatism, in whom a cataractous lens has been removed. These models of IOLs, ZXR00, ZXT150, ZXT225, ZXT300, and ZXT375, mitigate the effects of presbyopia by providing an extended depth of focus. Compared to an aspheric monofocal IOL, these models of IOLs provide improved intermediate and near visual acuity, while maintaining comparable distance visual acuity. These models of IOLs are intended for capsular bag placement only.

INDICATIONS and IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for TECNIS SYMFONY™ OPTIBLUE™ and TECNIS SYMFONY™ TORIC II OPTIBLUE™ EXTENDED RANGE OF VISION IOLs

The lens mitigates the effects of presbyopia by providing an extended depth of focus. Compared to an aspheric monofocal IOL, the lens provides improved intermediate and near visual acuity, while maintaining comparable distance visual acuity. The TECNIS Symfony™ Toric II OptiBlue™ Extended Range of Vision IOLs, Models ZXW150, ZXW225, ZXW300, ZXW375, are indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia and for reduction of residual refractive astigmatism in adult patients with greater than or equal to 1 diopter of preoperative corneal astigmatism, in whom a cataractous lens has been removed.

None.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Routine cataract surgery risks, irrelevant to lens selection, could be minor, temporary, or affect patients’ vision permanently. Rare complications are worsening of vision, bleeding, or infection. Discuss all risks and benefits with your eye doctor before surgery. If the patient’s eye is unhealthy (including glaucoma), vision may not be good even after cataract removal; patients may not get full benefit of the TECNIS Symfony™ IOL. Before surgery, the eye doctor will check for any eye diseases. Patients’ vision with the IOL may not be good enough to perform detailed ‘up-close’ work without glasses, and rarely, may make some types of retinal treatment (e.g., retinal tear repair) more difficult. You should avoid any activity that could harm your eye while you are recovering from surgery. Your doctor will tell you what activities to avoid while you are recovering from surgery. TECNIS® MULTIFOCAL AND TECNIS SYMFONY™ IOLs: Risks related to use of this lens include a slight loss in vision sharpness with decreased use of glasses. Even with glasses, loss of sharpness may worsen under poor visibility conditions such as dim light or fog. Patients may also notice halos, starbursts, glare, and other visual symptoms with extended range of vision and multifocal IOLs. This may lead to driving difficulties, and not detecting road hazards as quickly at night or in fog. This may impact patients when there are bright lights at night. Therefore, you may need to take extra care when driving, especially in poor light conditions. A small number of patients may want their TECNIS Symfony™ or TECNIS® Multifocal IOL removed because of lens-related optical/visual symptoms. TECNIS® Toric IOLs: A Toric IOL corrects astigmatism when it is placed correctly in the eye. There is a chance that the Toric IOL could be placed incorrectly or could move within the eye. Your doctor may need to move the lens to the right position following surgery. If the Toric lens is not placed correctly, you may have visual distortions. A second surgery may be needed to properly position the lens. TECNIS Eyhance™ IOLs: The effects of the TECNIS Eyhance™ and TECNIS Eyhance™ Toric II IOL optical design on quality of vision, contrast sensitivity, and subjective visual disturbances (glare, halo, etc.) have not been evaluated clinically.

SIDE EFFECTS
Side effects of cataract surgery with the TECNIS® Family of 1-Piece IOLs may include swelling/thickening of an area of the retina, and/or the need for a second surgery to reposition the lens, repair the retina, or remove the new lens.

INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for the CATALYS® Precision Laser System

CAUTION
Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. The system should be used only by qualified physicians who have extensive knowledge of the use of this device and have been trained and certified.

ATTENTION
Reference the labeling for a complete listing of Important Indications and Safety Information.

INDICATIONS
The OptiMedica Catalys Precision Laser System is indicated for use in patients undergoing cataract surgery for removal of the crystalline lens. Intended uses in cataract surgery include anterior capsulotomy, phacofragmentation, and the creation of single plane and multi-plane arc cuts/incisions in the cornea, each of which may be performed either individually or consecutively during the same procedure.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
The CATALYS System should not be used if you are not a candidate for cataract surgery, have certain pre-existing corneal problems or eye implants; or if you are younger than 22 years of age. Tell your doctor about any eye-related conditions, injuries, or surgeries.

PRECAUTIONS
Patients must be able to lie flat on their backs and motionless during the procedure. Patients must be able to tolerate local or topical anesthesia. Tell your doctor if you are taking any medications such as alpha blockers (like Flomax® to treat an enlarged prostate) as these medications may affect how the doctor does the cataract surgery.

ADVERSE EFFECTS
Complications associated with the CATALYS System include mild broken blood vessels or redness on the white part of your eye, which may last for a few weeks. Other potential risks associated with cataract surgery may occur. These risks may include but are not limited to corneal swelling and/or abrasion, lens capsular tear, infection, inflammation, eye discomfort, and reduced vision. Talk to your doctor regarding all the potential risks associated with these procedures.
