Puresee IOL (Johnson&Johnson)

Model: Johnson and Johnson, Puresee, 20D, Refractive multifocal, yellowish

Puresee IOL (Johnson & Johnson) is a refractive multifocal intraocular lens (or extended-depth of focus intraocular lens) with an elevation at the center of optic.

With Puresee IOL (Johnson & Johnson), USAF resolution target was clear as with monofocal IOL at 6 meters.This is typical of recently released refractive multifocal IOLs. The target gradually becomes blurred as the resolution target get closer, becoming clear again around 59 cm before becoming blurred again.

Puresee IOL (Johnson & Johnson) has a minimal halo around bright lights (traffic light, head light and tail light of car) at night compared to monofocal IOLs. This is a typical phenomenon seen in recently released refractive multifocal intraocular lenses.

Puresee IOL (Johnson & Johnson) provides clear image at far distance much like monofocal IOLs. This is typical of recently released refractive multifocal IOLs. However, a closer look reveals a slight drop in clarity compared to monfocal IOLs.

    Thank you so much for these impressions and the website. I got this lens from J&J. For me the glare around lights at night are not as severe as it appears on the night picture and the video. Also daylight image in the distance appears sharper than the picture of the building suggests. So overall more positive than expected.

      Thank for your comments. I am using many Puresee IOL for my patients and very limited number of patients complain of halo. Our retina and brain are much better than my mobile model eye. This is a comparative study, I kindly ask you to review the results of these IOLs in comparison to the outcomes of monofocal lenses.

    Thank you for the great work. I came across your paper. great read. One thing that stood out was Symfony’s contrast modulation being about half of monofocal (0.18 vs. 0.4). Can you share where does PureSee fall, is it closer to mono 0.4? I also noticed the “PureSee, Day, building (pupil 3.0 mm)” simulation photo on your website looks quite blurry…do not seem similar to monofocal
