Swiss Advanced Vision Launches Active Intraocular Lens Concept with Real-Time Autofocus for Cataract Surgery
April 10, 2018
(AETOS Wire) -- Swiss Advanced Vision (SAV-IOL) has announced the launch of Project R-TASC, set to disrupt the global intraocular lens (IOL) market. Cataracts are responsible for 51% of world blindness, which represents about 35 million people. A growing global market, IOLs are projected to reach 4.56 billion USD by 2022 from estimated 3.50 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 5.4%. Driving this market growth is an ageing population, rising prevalence of eye diseases and diabetes across the globe, and government initiatives to control and treat blindness caused by cataracts. However, despite the market size, there has been few noticeable innovations in IOLs. SAV-IOL is developing an entirely novel approach to IOLs. R-TASC (Real-Time Autofocus Servo Control) is an active lens with real-time autofocus and wireless connectivity. All current lenses are fixed and suffer from optical compromises, such as light distribution, resolution, and visual disturbances. This is inherent to their static design that cannot overcome the loss of accommodation (vision) after cataract surgery.......
