The self-stabilizing feet provide additional support on the eye without interfering with tool access. This eliminates the need for a suture ring which you would need for the non-footed version.
Both versions are built with high-index glass for great visualization of the retina. However, ACS lenses can experience fogging when placed on the eye due to its open-body design. This can be reduced by matching the temperature of the lens with the body temperature of the patient.
For retinal surgery, non-contact visualization enhances the surgeon's control by eliminating the need for an assistant to manage lenses. This approach can lead to smoother procedures and less risk of corneal complications.
The single-use lenses are pre-sterilized and individually packaged in a Tyvek® pouch. Single-use lenses are sold in boxes of 10.
