The Bausch & Lomb SofPort® Advanced Optics Aspheric Lens System can revolutionize your practice. It's the IOL your cataract patients will want for exceptional postoperative vision quality and contrast sensitivity.

• The SofPort AO Lens is designed to be aberration free and thus reduce spherical aberration for better vision quality relative to standard spherical IOLs.¹
  
• Optical performance is unaffected by optic decentration or pupil size due to uniform center-to-edge power.¹
  
• More predictable and repeatable refractive outcomes with a broader patient population can be expected.

SofPort® Advanced Optics Aspheric Lens System

The first IOL with two aspheric surfaces for optimal visual outcomes.

Unlike competitive aspheric lenses, each aspheric surface of the Bausch & Lomb SofPort® Advanced Optics Aspheric Lens contributes to consistent optical performance. Newer-generation silicone with proven biocompatibility^23-25 provides further assurance for exceptional post-operative outcomes.

• Uniform power from center to edge will not introduce higher-order aberrations (HOA) if decentered.¹
  
• By design, asymmetrical biconvex optics with a steeper anterior surface and low refractive index minimize surface-reflected glare and unwanted optical images.²⁶
• Newer-generation silicone is equivalent to hydrophobic acrylic in visual acuity, patient satisfaction, chronic inflammation, and PCO.^23,30
• 360^° anterior/posterior square-edge optic minimizes cell migration and provides PCO rates equal to acrylic.^28,2

 

 

Easy-Load Lens Delivery System

The Revolutionary Bausch & Lomb SofPort® AO Lens Insertion System Featuring the Easy-Load Inserter
It's "easy" to achieve improved surgical efficiency

Now you've got one less thing to worry about during cataract surgery. The revolutionary Bausch & Lomb Easy-Load Lens Delivery System allows you to load the lens into the inserter without any physical contact with the lens. It sets a new standard for ease of use that translates into reduced surgical times and more predictable, reliable lens delivery. More importantly, by eliminating lens-loading difficulties, you can reduce stress in the operating room.

The Easy-Load Lens Delivery System is an integral part of the Bausch & Lomb SofPort® System that also includes the SofPort Advanced Optics IOL. Together, the Easy-Load Lens Delivery System and the SofPort Advanced Optics IOL deliver a "resolution revolution" for cataract patients.

Designed for use with the LI61AO 3-piece intraocular lens, the Easy-Load Lens Delivery System is comprised of a syringe-shaped body and tip, with a plunger, drawer and haptic puller. It is a sterile, single-use device that is designed to be placed into the eye with one continuous forward motion through a sub 3.0-mm incision ... it's really as easy as 1-2-3.

One-motion insertion

1. Load the lens case into the syringe body
2. Close the lens drawer
3. Advance the plunger and deliver the lens
