The intraocular lenses are intended to be placed in the capsular bag. WARNINGS: Physicians considering lens implantation should weigh the potential risk/ benefit ratio for any conditions described in the Directions for Use that could increase complications or impact patient outcomes. Multifocal IOL implants may be inadvisable in patients where central visual field reduction may not be tolerated, such as macular degeneration, retinal pigment epithelium changes, and glaucoma. The lens should not be placed in the ciliary sulcus. Inform patients about the possibility that a decrease in contrast sensitivity and an increase in visual disturbances may affect their ability to drive a car under certain environmental conditions, such as driving at night or in poor visibility conditions. PRECAUTIONS: Prior to surgery, inform prospective patients of the possible risks and benefits associated with the use of this device and provide a copy of the patient information brochure to the patient. The long-term effects of intraocular lens implantation have not been determined. Secondary glaucoma has been reported occasionally in patients with controlled glaucoma who received lens implants. Do not reuse, resterilize or autoclave. ADVERSE EVENTS: The rates of surgical re-interventions, most of which were non-lens related, were statistically higher than the FDA grid rate for both the ZMB00 (+4.00 D) and ZLB00 (+3.25 D) lens models. For the ZMB00, the surgical re-intervention rates were 3.2% for first eyes and 3.3% for second eyes. The re-intervention rate was 3.3% for both the first and second eyes in the ZLB00 group.
