Cataract Surgery
The INFINITI ® Vision System allows physicians to provide patients with customized cataract surgery. This approach combines unparalleled fluidics with two unique energy delivery systems, providing surgeons increased efficiency and the ability to customize cataract lens removal to each patient. The system's OZIL® Torsional Handpiece delivers side-to-side, oscillating ultrasonic movement, enhancing surgeon control during surgery. Increased surgical control delivers greater potential for obtaining better surgical outcomes and safety than with traditional cataract removal technologies. This approach also supports the direction of more and more cataract surgeons towards micro-incisional cataract removal. To learn more about this product, visit www.infinitivision.com.

With more than 50 million implants worldwide, ACRYSOF® family of lenses are the most frequently implanted in the world, as physicians appreciate the long-term clinical results and unmatched stability of the lens. Recent advances to this line of lenses also address other visual disturbances while correcting for cataracts:
For patients with cataracts and presbyopia there is the ACRYSOF® IQ RESTOR® lens, which corrects for both conditions at the same time, eliminating the need for spectacles after surgery in most patients. To learn more about this product, visit www.reclaimyourvision.com.
For patients with cataracts and pre-existing cornea astigmatism, there is the ACRYSOF® IQ Toric aspheric IOL, which corrects for both conditions simultaneously by delivering precise astigmatic correction, predictable outcomes and quality distance vision without glasses for cataract patients with astigmatism. To learn more about this product, visit www.reclaimyourvision.com.
Another option for patients with astigmatism is the ACRYSOF® IQ RESTOR® Multifocal Toric lens, which delivers true performance at all distances. To learn more about this product, visit www.restortoric.com.

DISCOVISC® Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Device (OVD)
DISCOVISC® Ophthalmic viscosurgical device is the first cohesive and dispersive viscoelastic to combine higher viscosity cohesives and lower viscosity dispersives in a single syringe to provide superior retention, space maintenance and visual clarity during all key phases of cataract surgery. Additionally, it is easily removed at the end of surgery.

DUOVISC® Viscoelastic system provides the dispersive benefits of VISCOAT® viscosurgical device and the cohesive benefits of PROVISC® viscosurgical device in one disposable package. The use of VISCOAT® viscoelastic solution in the initial phases of surgery takes advantage of the solution's tissue protection properties. The use of PROVISC® viscoelastic material during the later phases of the surgery takes advantage of the properties that make it better suited for the expansion of the capsular bag and implantation of the intraocular lens following the cataract extraction. The separate syringes enable surgeon personalization of application to achieve optimum surgical control.
