Brian Shafer, MD, knows that, when doing high volume cataract surgery, it’s essential that the surgeon and team develop comfort with the material and the lens. His secret weapon? The Clareon® IOL.
What I’ve noticed with the Clareon® IOL is how quickly we can get the lens into position,1 get the viscoelastic out of the eye, and finish the case.
Having the entire portfolio of Alcon lenses on the Clareon® platform allows our patients to achieve great quality of vision2 and excellent care each time.
It says a lot about a company when they take feedback about a product like AcrySof that’s already so good and still seek to make it better. AcrySof worked well, but Clareon® takes it to the next level.

Potential complications accompanying cataract and/or IOL implantation surgery may include, but are not limited to, the following: lens epithelial cell on-growth, corneal endothelial cell damage, infection (endophthalmitis), toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS), retinal detachment, vitritis, cystoid macular edema, corneal edema, pupillary block, cyclitic membrane, iris prolapse, hypopyon, anterior uveitis, hyphema, pigment dispersion, posterior capsule opacification, transient or persistent glaucoma, and secondary surgical interventions. Secondary surgical interventions include, but are not limited to: lens repositioning, lens replacement, vitreous aspiration or iridectomy for pupillary block, wound leak repair, and retinal detachment repair.
