ZEISS announces commercial availability of bitoric hydrophobic monofocal IOL

ZEISS Medical Technology has announced the commercial availability of the ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P, the world’s first hydrophobic monofocal toric intraocular lens (IOL) with a bitoric optic combined with a unique asphericity design. The LUCIA® from ZEISS is the only hydrophobic monofocal IOL family featuring a non-constant asphericity profile design (ZEISS Optic). Built to perform independently of individual eye conditions, the ZEISS LUCIA Family takes into account variations in pupil size, corneal spherical aberration, and natural lens position to offer consistent, reliable outcomes in real world conditions.

The ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P IOL is CE marked and now commercially available in select European countries, including Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France.

“ZEISS once again demonstrates to the market our expertise in optics with a huge leap forward for our IOL offerings. Our broader portfolio will provide surgeons around the world with more options to reach a higher level of patient satisfaction,” says Andreas Völker, Head of the Ophthalmology Strategic Business Unit, ZEISS Medical Technology.

“Providing high reliability and proven lens platform stability, the ZEISS AT LUCIA toric 721P is a game changer, enabling surgeons to elevate their astigmatism management workflow,” says Frank Seitzinger, Head of Business Sector Surgery Anterior Segment, ZEISS Medical Technology.
