With the combined benefits of toricity and asphericity, the AcrySof^® IQ Toric lens truly offers the best of both worlds:

Astigmatism Correction

• Unique toric design offers astigmatism patients the best opportunity for spectacle-independent distance vision
• AcrySof^® single-piece platform ensures exceptional rotational stability, with less than 4º average rotation 6 months after implantation
• Range of cylinder powers includes patients with lower levels of astigmatism

Visual Performance

• Proven aspheric technology reduces spherical and higher order aberrations
• Aspheric optic offers increased contrast sensitivity and improved functional vision in challenging environments
• Proprietary blue light-filtering chromophore filters more than UV

	“We are moving closer and closer to freedom from glasses for almost all patients requiring cataract surgery…”
- Samuel Masket, MD

New Technology Intraocular Lens (NTIOL) is a status given to lenses that provide patients with improved technology and new clinical benefits. As a member of the “Reduced Spherical Aberration” category established by CMS on February 27, 2006, Alcon’s AcrySof^® IQ Toric IOL recently received NTIOL status.

Ambulatory Surgery Centers are eligible to receive a payment adjustment of an additional $50 when AcrySof^® IQ Toric is used in cataract surgery on a Medicare beneficiary. This additional payment is effective through February 27, 2011.

Alcon is proud to develop the innovations that help shape the future of cataract surgery.

CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. INDICATIONS: AcrySof^® IQ Toric IOL Models SN6AT3, SN6AT4, and SN6AT5 Posterior Chamber Intraocular lenses are intended for primary implantation in the capsular bag of the eye for the visual correction of aphakia and pre-existing corneal astigmatism secondary to the removal of a cataractous lens in adult patients with or without presbyopia, who desire improved uncorrected distance vision, reduction of residual refractive cylinder and increased spectacle independence for distance vision. WARNINGS: Careful preoperative evaluation and sound clinical judgment should be used by the surgeon to decide the risk/benefit ratio before implanting a lens in a patient with any of the conditions described in the Directions for Use labeling. Toric IOLs should not be implanted if the posterior capsule is ruptured, if the zonules are damaged, or if a primary posterior capsulotomy is planned. Rotation can reduce astigmatic correction; if necessary lens repositioning should occur as early as possible prior to lens encapsulation. All viscoelastics should be removed from both the anterior and posterior sides of the lens; residual viscoelastics may allow the lens to rotate. PRECAUTIONS: Studies have shown that color vision discrimination is not adversely affected in individuals with the AcrySof^® Natural IOL and normal color vision. The effect on vision of the AcrySof^® Natural IOL in subjects with hereditary color vision defects and acquired color vision defects secondary to ocular disease (e.g., glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, chronic uveitis, and other retinal or optic nerve diseases) has not been studied. Do not resterilize; do not store over 45° C; use only sterile irrigating solutions such as BSS^® or BSS PLUS^® Sterile Intraocular Irrigating Solutions. ATTENTION: Reference the Directions for Use labeling for a complete listing of indications, warnings and precautions.
