    The filter that leaves patients able to benefit from blue light

    TECNIS™ OptiBlue™ Yellow Aspheric IOL is the filter lens with TECNIS™ IOL technology for high-quality outcomes.1-5

    The yellow lens with a violet-light filter allows full transmission of healthy blue light:

    • Blue light is critical in controlling circadian rhythms6
    • 35% of scotopic vision sensitivity depends on blue light6

    Full transmission of blue light and consistent light transmittance with 
    TECNIS™ OptiBlue™ IOL7

     

    Improved melanopsin sensitivity, which influences circadian rhythms that may play a role in sleep pattern, mood, memory, and systemic health.6

    Increased Scotopic Sensitivity                                Increased Melanopsin Sensitivity

    With TECNIS™ OptiBlue™ IOL*8                            With TECNIS™ OptiBlue™ IOL*8

    Unlike another leading IOL, TECNIS™ IOL material is not associated with glistenings,1,9-12 which can inhibit your patients’ vision. Glistenings cause light scatter, which can result in a reduction in image contrast.9-13
