implantation in July 1998, approximately 1.5 million lenses utilising this material have been
Both the Akreos Adapt AO and Akreos MI-60 have an aberration-free, aspheric optic, for
improved quality of vision and preserved depth of field. The 360° posterior ridge and square
edge technology provide an anti-PCO barrier. Bausch & Lomb’s silicone, SofPort AO lens also
has these design features. The SofPort AO is available with the EZ-load injector and the Akreos
Further cataract products include Amvisc® Plus, a moderately cohesive viscoelastic with
dispersive characteristics, the Aqsia™Balanced Salt Solutions and the Coatel™ HMPC Cataract/vitreoretinal equipment product line
The Bausch & Lomb Millennium™ Microsurgical System delivers on the promise of a platform
with innovative technology for cataract and vitreoretinal surgery. The modular design of the
system allows continuing technology innovations to be integrated into the system.
Specialist vitreoretinal equipment includes the Millennium TSV25™ System for minimally
invasive 25 gauge vitreoretinal technology and the MillenniumEndolase System, with an
The Millennium Microsurgical System also forms an intrinsic part of Bausch & Lomb’s MICSPlatform for 1.8 mm phaco, providing surgeons with:
• MICS Education: Bausch & Lomb University accelerated learning modules including a specialised education program for MICS and in-theatre training
• MICS Equipment: Millennium Microsurgical System
• MICS IOL: Akreos MI-60 IOL
• MICS Instruments: Customised Instruments, including the single use MICS Platform Knives
Millennium MICS Platform radically changes 1.8 mm micro-incision surgery by delivering a
complete solution for 1.8 mm phaco techniques that minimises the learning curve and enhances
safety and optimises surgical efficiency.
Software:MICS Platform MillenniumCustom Controlled Software (CCS 2006) has
optimised power modulations to enhance safety and efficiency during MICS surgery.
Fluidic control: Two fluidic control options are available with the Millennium system, either the
Advanced Flow System or Advanced Vacuum System.
Chamber stability is enhanced using the Micro Incision Vacuum Pack (MIVP) with the Stable Chamber Tubing System, which maintains positive intraocular pressure (IOP) during surgery.
Alternatively, the Stable Flow phaco needles support high vacuum phaco techniques while
providing strong lens fragment holding forces.
Instruments: Bausch & Lomb offers a range of 19 and 20 gauge irrigating choppers,
disposable MICS knives, and micro capsulorhexis forceps.
The latest anterior technology, the Stellaris™ Vision Enhancement System (conformity
assessment for CE marking in progress), completes the MICS Platform for a complete solution
Refractive product line
Bausch & Lomb is proud of the pivotal role its Zyoptix® platform has played in the development
of today's refractive surgery treatments. Innovations within the Zyoptix® Platform are enabling
greater predictability and quality, faster diagnostics, improved safety, efficacy and efficiency.
• Zyoptix Diagnostic Workstation
• Zyoptix XP Microkeratome with Epi-Separator technology for surface treatments.
The Zyoptix 100 Laser system provides exceptional clinical results, expanded treatment
algorithms and enhanced safety features. Fast, reliable treatment times are provided by the
100Hz laser. The laser’s enhanced safety features include iris recognition, multi-dimensional
eyetracker and Zy-ID™ which gives a unique digital map of the iris.
A variety of Zyoptix treatments provide the best choice for each patient: Aspheric, Personalized Zyoptix Aspheric
The first algorithm to use each patient's unique K-value (corneal curvature) and Q-value (corneal
asphericity) to deliver a true aspheric treatment that significantly reduces surgically – induced
Zyoptix Personalized

treatments. It is a single, modular workstation combining leading technology in corneal
TheOrbscan®IIz Corneal Topographer comprises scanning slit technology with advanced
placido disc system measuring up to 9000 anterior data points in less than 3 seconds. The
system provides a complete analysis and diagnosis of the cornea, full corneal pachymetry,
The Zywave®Wavefront Analyzer measures and analyses the presence of higher and lower
order aberrations. The ZyID iris recognition technology provides safe and secure patient
identification throughout the treatment process, as well as compensation for pupil centre shift
and cyclotorsion. The analyser also provides individual 3D aberration maps, dynamic
pupillometry, normal band distribution and refraction data for all pupil diameters.
Zyoptix® Advanced Personalized Technologies (APT) simplifies the patient workup process
by significantly reducing the complexity and time involved to perform true wavefront-guided
treatments. The NoDiZy feature eliminates the need to pharmaceutically dilate in most Zyoptix Personalized candidates, enabling a faster and easier acquisition. APT also provides swift and
easy storage and transfer of diagnostic data using an enhanced CPU, simplified user interface
and networking capabilities. The Zyoptix Treatment Calculator software and algorithms
