The optical tech developer said the lens features its proprietary, non-diffractive X-WAVE technology, which stretches and shifts light without splitting it.
“Vivity delivers monofocal-quality distance (far) with excellent intermediate (at arm’s length) and functional near vision (up close),” the company said in a news release. “The lens expands Alcon’s growing portfolio of presbyopia-mitigating IOLs to meet the needs of cataract patients who are interested in restoring their visual performance and improving their lifestyle.”
