Martin Luther King Drive, Chicago, IL Clinical Outcomes and Strategies for Success with the TECNIS® Multifocal IOL Indications: TECNIS® multifocal intraocular lenses are indicated for visual correction of aphakia in adult patients with and without presbyopia in whom a cataractous lens has been removed by phacoemulsifi cation. The intraocular lenses are intended to be placed in the capsular bag. Warn- ings: Physicians considering lens implantation under any of the conditions described in the Directions for Use labeling should weigh the potential risk/benefit ratio prior to implanting a lens. Precautions: Do not resterilize or autoclave. Use only sterile irrigating solutions such as balanced salt solution or sterile normal saline. Do not store in direct sunlight or over 45°C. Adverse Events: The most frequently reported adverse event that occurred during the clinical trial of the Tecnis® Multifocal lens was surgical reintervention, which occurred at a rate of 3.7% (lens-related: 0.6%; non-lens related: 3.2%) which included lens exchange, retinal repair, iris prolapse/wound repair, trabeculectomy, lens repositioning, and lens removal due to patient dissatisfaction. Other events included macular edema (2.6%), hypopyon (0.3%) and endophthalmitis (0.3%).
