XL optic – vision without limits

ASPIRA-aXA

Pseudophakic reliability for you and your patients

The innovative XL optic of the ASPIRA-aXA combines the advantages of a 7.0 mm optic with the stability of the new cut-out haptic design. This posterior-chamber IOL an be conveniently implanted using small-incision technology while adhering to surgical routine.

FOR AN UNTROUBLED VISUAL OUTCOME

PREVENT PHOTIC PHENOMENA

Pseudophakic dysphotopsia is the most important dissatisfier for patients after successful cataract surgery.

BENEFIT FROM A SMOOTH ADAPTION PHASE

PREVENT PERSISTENT DYSPHOTOPSIA

Bag-to-bag IOL exchange with the 7.0 mm Aspira-aXA showed complete resolution of dysphotopsia in almost all patients. An IOL exchange with a wide optic diameter IOL seems a promising surgical treatment for dysphotopsia.

The Aspira-aXA with the 7.0mm XL-optic reduces positive and negative dysphotopsia effectively.

A model

FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEGATIVE DYSPHOTOPSIA

Numerous ray tracing analyses using standard IOLs show a non-illuminated region of the peripheral nasal retina. This “shadow” is caused by the reduced optic diameter and the central thickness of the artificial IOL compared to the natural lens.

Schematic drawing modified according to Holladay

2.5 mm pupil, 6.0 mm IOL

The retinal image is generated by light rays refracted by the IOL optic (areal A), as well as by light rays that hit the retinal periphery (area B) either directly or indirectly refracted by the IOL edge. The unilluminated gap between these two areas can lead to the perception of negative dysphotopsia.

THE SOLUTION FOR VITREORETINAL SURGERY

AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE

Dr. J. Schrecker, Glauchau, Germany
“We have been using Aspira-aXA for several years – especially in combination with vitreous surgery.
The particular advantage for me is the excellent stability of the IOL position and the vision, especially when using gas and oil tamponades. Even after almost two hundred implantations, no abnormalities, such as calcification or deposits of the hydrophilic material, occurred.“

THE PANORAMIC IOL

EXPERTS RECOMMEND

Prof. W. Sekundo, Marburg
“The large ASPIRA-aXA optic has proven itself in phaco-vitrectomies because it allows an edge-free view into the outer retinal periphery.”
Personal Statement, 2018

Univ.-Prof. Dr. Matthias Bolz, MD, Linz
„The view into the periphery is not only important for standard funduscopy, but also for diagnostics, fluorescence angiography and above all for retinal surgery.”

Y. Takamura, MD, PhD.
“The creation of a larger capsulorhexis with implantation of a 7.0 mm optic IOL contributed to a larger anterior capsule opening after cataract surgery in patients with DM [diabetes mellitus].”

SAFE POSITIONING

STABLE REFRACTION

Dr. E. Becker, Oranienburg, Germany
“Aspira-aXA combines tilt-free fit, excellent A-constant fidelity with optical precision,
and its size makes it the number one monofocal IOL for eyes with a WTW greater than 12.0 mm and/or large pupils.”
