11 Why Target Zero Spherical Aberration? Wavefront aberration analysis confirms the average human cornea has microns of spherical aberration throughout life 1 Studies show peak visual performance occurs at 19, when average spherical aberration is 0.0 microns 2 Chromatic Aberration Correction What is chromatic aberration? Occurs when light is separated into its spectral components and these wavelengths are refracted differently to create multiple focal points 1 Holladay JT, et al. J Refract Surg. 2002;18: Artal P, et al. Presented at ESCRS Holzer M. Data presented at the DOC in Nuremburg, Germany, Spherical and Chromatic Aberration Several studies have shown the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration together is more beneficial than the sum of the two individual corrections* This is a major distinguishing factor for the new TECNIS Multifocal Acrylic IOL High Spectacle Independence with TECNIS Patient Satisfaction Study indicates (n=59 eyes out of 30 patients)* Near Vision Without Correction Monocular Uncorrected Distance 90% at J1 90% at 20/30 Spectacle Independence 93-95% Patient Satisfaction 96% *Yoon GY, Williams DR.
