Press Release: Atlantis Eyecare is the First to implant the First Commercially Available TECNIS IOL for Cataract Surgery in Orange County

Anaheim, CA –Atlantis Eyecare’s, Dwayne K. Logan, M.D., Medical Director and CEO, implanted the new FDA approved TECNIS multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in a cataract patient.

The TECNIS(R) Multifocal IOL's unique design gives patients superior near vision and reading speed compared to other presbyopia-correcting IOLs, as well as exceptionally high spectacle independence, with nearly 9 out of 10 patients reporting that they never wear glasses after surgery.

Other features/benefits of the TECNIS IOL include:

• high-quality vision for near, far and intermediate distances, day or night;
  
  
• first and only pupil-independent, non-apodized fully diffractive aspheric lens designed to correct the two highest order aberrations - spherical and chromatic - to give patients back their youthful vision;
  
  
• 95 percent patient satisfaction - the highest of any presbyopia-correcting IOL.
  
  
  "The TECNIS Multifocal is a great addition to the options for my cataract patients," said Dwayne Logan, M.D. "Clinical studies show that over 94 percent of patients function without glasses. My patients have been giving me great feedback on their ability to see at all distances."

"The TECNIS provides full range of vision in all lighting conditions," states Dr. Ehsan Sadri, Cataract Surgeon for Atlantis Eyecare in Newport Beach and Foothill Ranch.
