According to Alcon:
-
Clareon uses advanced BioMaterial and proprietary edge design
-
It is designed to reduce posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and edge glare
-
A change in the composition of the lens material (less hydrophobic) allows for a reduction in formation of glistenings
-
There is also a low level of surface light scatter due to SSNGs
Low incidence of glare:
-
Clareon glare percentages are close to zero
-
Most other lenses are at 5% or range from 5 to 10%
-
This may translate to improved night vision when dealing with oncoming cars
What Are Clareon Lenses?
Clareon is a new type of intraocular lens material designed by Alcon. It will replace the current Acrysof line of lenses. Benefits include low levels of surface haze and low risk of glistenings.
