ASPIRA-aXA

Pseudophakic reliability for you and your patients

The innovative XL optic of the ASPIRA-aXA combines the advantages of a 7.0 mm optic with the stability of the new cut-out haptic design. This posterior-chamber IOL an be conveniently implanted using small-incision technology while adhering to surgical routine.

ASPIRA-aXA

THE EXTENDED 7.0 mm XL-OPTIC

For standard cataract surgery and especially for patients with large pupils, traumatic mydriasis or iris defects

For patients at increased risk of retinal diseases or need for combined vitreoretinal surgery

EASY TO INTEGRATE INTO THE ROUTINE

PREVENT PHOTIC PHENOMENA

Pseudophakic dysphotopsia is the most important dissatisfier for patients after successful cataract surgery.

BENEFIT FROM A SMOOTH ADAPTION PHASE

Bag-to-bag IOL exchange with the 7.0 mm Aspira-aXA showed complete resolution of dysphotopsia in almost all patients. An IOL exchange with a wide optic diameter IOL seems a promising surgical treatment for dysphotopsia.

FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEGATIVE DYSPHOTOPSIA

Numerous ray tracing analyses using standard IOLs show a non-illuminated region of the peripheral nasal retina. This “shadow” is caused by the reduced optic diameter and the central thickness of the artificial IOL compared to the natural lens.

2.5 mm pupil, 6.0 mm IOL

The retinal image is generated by light rays refracted by the IOL optic (areal A), as well as by light rays that hit the retinal periphery (area B) either directly or indirectly refracted by the IOL edge. The unilluminated gap between these two areas can lead to the perception of negative dysphotopsia.

Dr. E. Becker, Oranienburg, Germany
“Aspira-aXA combines tilt-free fit, excellent A-constant fidelity with optical precision,
and its size makes it the number one monofocal IOL for eyes with a WTW greater than 12.0 mm and/or large pupils.”
Personal statement, 2023

CLINICALLY CONVINCING

Effective Reduction of Dysphotopsia

Incidence, frequency and extent of dysphotopsia are lower for patients treated with Aspira-aXA compared to patients treated with a 6.0 mm optic

Excellent Stability

Confirmed long-term stability with no significant IOL displacement or shift, hence no change in refraction

Highest Level of Patient Satisfaction

97 % of patients were highly satisfied or satisfied with their vision 1.5 years after surgery
