Developing Visions, implementing State-of-the-Art technologies (®Oculentis 2009) Oculentis is one of the few remaining independent IOL manufacturers having its own Research & Development Department and one of the most modern manufacturing plants for intraocular lenses (Oculentis BV, Eerbeek, Netherlands). LENTIS intraocular lenses are the core of the Oculentis product range for the ophthalmic surgeon. Our product range includes foldable posterior chamber lenses made from HydroSmart acrylate. The acrylic lenses made from HydroSmart material provide the surgeon with high comfort and best functionality: These lenses possess the folding qualities of a hydrophilic lens; however, thanks to their hydrophobic surface and the truly sharp edges they also reduce the risk of secondary cataract. A success story - Sub-Micron Lathing Technology (SML) All LENTIS acrylic lenses are manufactured using the sub-micron lathing technique (in short: SML). Thanks to this state-of-the-art production method, the lenses do not require additional polishing after production and thus keep their true square edges, even at the optic-haptic junctions. There is no risk of polishing residues being left on the optic. The square-edge design as well as the excellent surface quality lead to a lower rate of secondary cataract formation and thus reduce the need for additional treatment. Here are the core features:  SML has transformed lens manufacturing from handcraft to computer-controlled production.  SML the lens blank is processed in a single production step without the need for additional polishing.  SML ensures the creation of truly square edges for the entire 360 degrees; even for the region of the haptics. A recent study conducted by the Berlin Eye Research Institute (BERI) confirms the exceptionally sharp optic edges of the LENTIS IOL for a better PCO prophylaxis.  SML is an essential pre-condition for the high reproducibility of complicated IOL optics, but it also allows for the manufacture of individual intraocular lenses on short notice. In minutes, almost completely automated with the help of industrial robots, complex IOL designs and optics are manufactured with high precision out of acrylic blanks -- without polishing and within the nanometer range. Designs of all functionalities are possible: multifocal, toric, aspheric, diffractive. LENTIS intraocular lenses: Eying the future Our challenge is to help people worldwide to a better vision. As German based company we are driven by highest quality and technology goals. The best is not good enough for us but we strive to find the optimum eye care solution for surgeon and patient. To that end, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality intraocular products for treating various eye diseases and eye conditions. How we can do that? With our technological know-how, enthusiasm, lots of ideas and the means to innovate! Best example is our patented LENTIS Mplus-technology. The unique optical design of the rotationally asymmetric LENTIS Mplus has revolutionised the multifocal IOL market worldwide. Well over 200,000 Mplus implantations in 4 years and a significant number of clinical studies prove the superiority of this patented technology to conventional diffractive multifocal lenses. ******************************************************************************** Oculentis - der hochmoderne Intraokularlinsen-Hersteller Visionen entwickeln, Zukunftskonzepte realisieren Zusammen mit der Oculentis BV (Eerbeek, Niederlande) bildet die Oculentis GmbH (Berlin, Deutschland) eine enge Entwicklungs-, Produktions- und Vertriebsgemeinschaft und ist somit einer der wenigen unabhängigen IOL-Hersteller mit eigener Forschungs- und Entwicklungsabteilung weltweit. LENTIS Intraokularlinsen bilden den Kern des Produktportfolios der Oculentis GmbH. Wir bieten für jeden Patienten und jeden Arzt die optimale Intraokularlinse, um den individuellen Ansprüchen und persönlichen Präferenzen an das Sehergebnis gerecht zu werden. Das Erfolgskonzept, das hinter der IOL-Fertigungsmethode von Oculentis steht, heißt Sub-Micron-Drehverfahren (Sub-Micron-Lathing Technology). SML bearbeitet den Linsenrohling in einem Arbeitsgang ohne anschließendes Polieren. Dadurch kommt es zu keinen Veränderungen der Materialeigenschaften sowie der Oberflächenbeschaffenheit durch Politur. SML gewährleistet die Produktion echter scharfer 360° Kanten, auch im Haptikbereich. _______ This movie was filmed in 2009.
