Sulcoflex Aspheric

When considering your options to correct refractive surprise, what’s important to you?

• ✓ Ease of use
• ✓ An adjustable solution for peace of mind
• ✓ Efficacy & patient outcomes
• ✓ Low capital expenditure
• ✓ Designed to avoid the potential problems of conventional “piggy-back” IOLs^1,6,9

For when compromise is not an option.

Features and benefits of the Sulcoflex Aspheric IOL

With the Standard range from –5.0 D to +5.0 D and the Premium range extending from –10.0 D to +10.0 D, Sulcoflex Aspheric IOLs offer an effective option for the resolution of post-operative myopic or hypermetropic refractive surprises.

• Smooth undulating haptics to minimise the risk of adverse tissue reaction in the sulcus.²
• Posterior concave surface to avoid contact with the primary IOL.¹
