Abbott (ABT) announced that the TECNIS Toric 1-Piece intraocular lens has received U.S. FDA approval. The company is launching the product in the United States for the treatment of cataract patients with pre-existing corneal astigmatism.
Corneal astigmatism is a condition where the curvature of the cornea is uneven, preventing light rays from focusing clearly on the retina, resulting in blurred vision. Intraocular lenses are implanted in a patient's eye after the removal of the natural lens that has become clouded by a cataract. Unlike conventional IOLs, the TECNIS Toric 1-Piece IOL can correct a patient's loss of focus due to pre-existing corneal astigmatism of one diopter or greater, the company said.
