The ACRYSOF® Natural IOL Filters Blue Light Like Your Natural Lens.

There have been great advances in artificial lens technology. The ACRYSOF® Natural IOL is an example.

All currently available artificial lenses filter UV light, but the ACRYSOF® Natural IOL filters both UV and blue light*. The ACRYSOF® Natural lens is transparent yellow --the color necessary to filter blue light. The patented yellow tint does not alter the natural colors of the things you see or the quality of your vision.


The ACRYSOF® Natural IOL is a single-piece lens.
The arms, called haptics, keep the lens centered and secure,
and are made of the same material as the lens body.


Today, the ACRYSOF® family of lenses, including the ACRYSOF® Natural IOL, are among the most frequently implanted lenses in the world. This is largely due to the long-term clinical results of the lens. Furthermore, these lenses are made of a patented material developed specifically for the eye.

The ACRYSOF® Natural IOL is designed to conform to the natural shape of the lens capsule. This helps it stay stable and centered in the eye. But what makes the ACRYSOF® Natural IOL unique is its ability to filter blue light.

The ACRYSOF® Natural IOL enhances the benefits of advanced cataract surgery by filtering out blue light.

Your doctor will be glad to give you even more information about the benefits of the ACRYSOF® Natural IOL.
