JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson &
Johnson§, a global leader in eye health, has announced
it's expanding the roll-out of its latest advancement in
presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (PC - IOL), TECNIS
Odyssey, in the U.S. The new full visual range
IOL*1 offers patients unmatched continuous full
range of vision‖6, so they can see clearly
from far to near and in between, minimizing their need for
glasses 3,6 †‖# . TECNIS
Odyssey IOL is built on the TECNIS platform, providing
two-times better contrast in low lighting than PanOptix.7,8
† In addition, TECNIS Odyssey
IOL patients are able to read 14% smaller print on average
than PanOptix IOL patients2 † and 93% reported no
or mild halos, glare, or starbursts one month after
surgery9.

"More than 14,000 eyes have already benefited
from TECNIS Odyssey, our new full visual range
IOL1. TECNIS Odyssey patients have
reported outstanding visual outcomes following surgery, which is
why we are excited to announce we are expanding the roll-out across
the U.S. today," said Peter
Menziuso♠, Company Group Chairman, Vision,
Johnson & Johnson. "Cataract surgery gives patients a once in a
lifetime opportunity to improve their sight, and now with this
advanced IOL, patients can see clearly at every distance, without
the need for glasses."
It is estimated that 20.5 million (17.2%) Americans aged 40
years and older have a cataract in one or both eyes, yet only 6.1
million (5.1%) have had cataract surgery.10 Left
untreated, cataracts cause vision to deteriorate over time. Many
people who have cataracts experience other problems with their
vision, such as presbyopia, which is a progressive eye condition
that makes it difficult to focus on close objects and usually
becomes noticeable around 40 years of age.11 Full
visual range IOLs provide the opportunity to correct presbyopia at
the time of cataract surgery.
"The TECNIS Odyssey IOL is perhaps the most
comprehensive and well-balanced PC-IOL on the market to date," said
Dr. George O. Waring IV**, Medical
Director of the Waring Vision Institute in Mt. Pleasant, SC. "It falls under a new
standard of full vision range that provides extraordinary contrast
in both day and night-time conditions, tolerance to refractive
error and minimal dysphotopsias with outstanding contrast
sensitivity** that really takes it to a whole different level and
nothing like we've seen before with prior PC-IOLs".
The new TECNIS Odyssey full visual range
IOL*1 was built with proprietary technology that
results in superior image quality, delivering sharp
vision even in challenging lighting conditions7 ,8 ††‡‡.
The design also delivers fewer visual disturbances for enhanced
night-time visual quality12:
- Precise vision: TECNIS Odyssey
IOL ensures crisp and clear vision, allowing patients to
see with clarity at every distance - whether they are reading,
driving or engaging in daily activities.6 ,7 ,8
*†‖
-
- 94% of patients were satisfied with their overall vision
without glasses.
- At every distance: Its unique, freeform diffractive
surface was designed to eliminate the gaps between near,
intermediate and far distances, and offer continuous, uninterrupted
vision at all distances.6 †‖
-
- 96% of patients were satisfied with reading a smartphone or
tablet14, and 97% were satisfied with distance
vision.13
- In any lighting: Engineered to minimize night vision
disturbances – fewer halos and glare12 TECNIS
Odyssey IOL provides better image quality than PanOptix
day and night, for a more comfortable night-time experience7,8
††‡‡.
-
- 92% of patients were satisfied with their ability to see steps
at night14 and read street signs at
night 14.
As part of this roll-out, J&J is launching "TECNIS
Odyssey IOL Peer Connect". This initiative was designed to
foster direct and meaningful medical and scientific conversations
regarding TECNIS Odyssey IOL between healthcare
professionals with expert surgeons who had early access to the
technology. To access this interactive platform, and engage in live
virtual clinical discussions, eye care professionals can request
access here.
TECNIS Odyssey IOL has also received regulatory
authority approval in Japan, EU,
Korea, Canada, Singapore, Australia and New
Zealand.§§

INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TECNIS
ODYSSEY™ IOL WITH TECNIS SIMPLICITY™ DELIVERY SYSTEM, MODEL
DRN00V AND TECNIS ODYSSEY™ TORIC II IOL WITH TECNIS SIMPLICITY™
DELIVERY SYSTEM, MODELS DRT150, DRT225, DRT300, DRT375
Rx Only
INDICATIONS:
The TECNIS SIMPLICITY™ Delivery System is used to fold and assist
in inserting the TECNIS Odyssey™ IOL, which 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 SIMPLICITY™ Delivery System is used to fold and assist in
inserting the TECNIS Odyssey™ Toric II IOLs that are indicated for
primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia and for
reduction of 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. Compared to an aspheric
monofocal lens, the TECNIS Odyssey™ IOLs mitigate the effects of
presbyopia by providing improved visual acuity at intermediate and
near distances to reduce eyeglass wear, while maintaining
comparable distance visual acuity. The lens is intended for
capsular bag placement only.
WARNINGS:
Intraocular lenses may exacerbate an existing condition, may
interfere with diagnosis or treatment of a condition or may pose an
unreasonable risk to the eyesight of patients. Patients should have
well-defined visual needs and be informed of possible visual
effects (such as a perception of halo, starburst or glare around
lights), which may be expected in nighttime or poor visibility
conditions. Patients may perceive these visual effects as
bothersome, which, on rare occasions, may be significant enough for
the patient to request removal of the IOL. The physician should
carefully weigh the potential risks and benefits for each patient.
Patients with a predicted postoperative residual astigmatism
greater than 1.0 diopter, with or without a toric lens, may not
fully benefit in terms of reducing spectacle wear. Rotation of the
TECNIS Odyssey™ Toric II IOL from its intended axis can reduce its
astigmatic correction. Misalignment greater than 30° may increase
postoperative refractive cylinder. If necessary, lens repositioning
should occur as early as possible, prior to lens encapsulation. The
lens and delivery system should be discarded if the lens has been
folded within the cartridge for more than 10 minutes. Not doing so
may result in the lens being stuck in the cartridge. Do not attempt
to disassemble, modify, or alter the delivery system or any of its
components, as this can significantly affect the function and/or
structural integrity of the design.
PRECAUTIONS:
Interpret results with caution when using autorefractors or
wavefront aberrometers that utilize infrared light, or when
performing a duochrome test. Confirmation of refraction with
maximum plus manifest refraction technique is strongly recommended.
The ability to perform some eye treatments (e.g., retinal
photocoagulation) may be affected by the IOL optical design. The
surgeon should target emmetropia, as this lens is designed for
optimum visual performance when emmetropia is achieved. The TECNIS
Odyssey™ IOLs should not be placed in the ciliary sulcus. Carefully
remove all viscoelastic and do not over-inflate the capsular bag at
the end of the case. Residual viscoelastic and/or over-inflation of
the capsular bag may allow the lens to rotate, causing misalignment
of the TECNIS Odyssey™ Toric II IOL. All preoperative surgical
parameters are important when choosing a TECNIS Odyssey™ Toric II
IOL for implantation, including preoperative keratometric cylinder
(magnitude and axis), incision location, the surgeon's estimated
surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) and biometry. Variability in
any of the preoperative measurements can influence patient outcomes
and the effectiveness of treating eyes with lower amounts of
preoperative corneal astigmatism. The effectiveness of TECNIS
Odyssey™ Toric II IOLs in reducing postoperative residual
astigmatism in patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism <
1.0 diopter has not been demonstrated. Patients with a predicted
postoperative astigmatism greater than 1.0 D may not be suitable
candidates for implantation with the TECNIS Odyssey™ IOLs, as they
may not obtain the benefits of reduced spectacle wear or improved
intermediate and near vision seen in patients with lower predicted
postoperative astigmatism.

Indications and Important Safety Information.
