BAUSCH + LOMB LAUNCHES PRELOADED ENVISTA ENVY FULL RANGE OF VISION INTRAOCULAR LENSES IN EUROPE

Bausch + Lomb Corp. has achieved European commercial availability of the preloaded enVista Envy full range of vision intraocular lens (IOL), which offers excellent dysphotopsia tolerance on the widely used enVista IOL platform.

"Bausch + Lomb now offers two full range of vision premium IOLs -- enVista Envy and LuxLife to meet the evolving needs of surgeons and patients in Europe," said Luc Bonnefoy, president, surgical, Bausch + Lomb. "Envy has performed exceptionally well in the U.S. and Canada, and we anticipate similar results with this launch."

A multicentre, randomized and controlled clinical trial evaluating 332 subjects demonstrated excellent long-term outcomes with the enVista Envy IOL in the United States. On average, 86.1 per cent of patients reported little to no bothersomeness for dysphotopsia (glare, halo, starbursts), showing an impressive tolerance profile overall. In a Canadian clinical study evaluating 110 subjects, 95.4 per cent of patients reported little to no difficulty viewing close objects and 93 per cent were completely to moderately satisfied with their vision postsurgery.

enVista Envy delivers outstanding performance in all lighting conditions thanks to ActivSync Optic intelligent energy distribution, which optimizes vision in many lighting conditions. The Envy lens also enables surgeons to treat a wider range of astigmatic patients with more accuracy and precision with 0.50 D steps (or less) throughout the cylinder range and starting at an ultralow correction with 0.90 D at IOL plane.

The EyeGility delivery system, designed specifically for preloaded enVista IOLs including Envy, offers balanced push force for smooth delivery, injection through a two-millimetre incision, convenient one-handed operation and an enlarged shuttle tab that enhances comfort for users compressing the IOL during ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) application. EyeGility also features an enlarged viscoport that facilitates more accessible OVD application during preparation and up to 20 minutes of standby time from prep to lens delivery. enVista Envy is the first Bausch + Lomb IOL to use EyeGility.

"The enVista Envy performs extremely well in our experience and does so with minimal photic issues, if any," said Sheraz Daya, MD, medical director, Centre for Sight, London, United Kingdom. "The combination of the EyeGility delivery system with the lens will make the whole process quick and easy for surgeons."
