Extended Depth Of Focus Intraocular Lens

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
Intended to be implanted to replace the natural lens of an eye.
Physical State
An EDF IOL has a similar appearance and construction to any intraocular lens. An intraocular lens is a device made of materials such as glass or plastic.
Technical Method
An Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular lens is one that uses an optical design (e.g., through aspheric shape, use of more than one refractive zone, or diffractive technology) that provides a continuous range of relatively clear vision, beyond that achievable with the optics of a monofocal lens. Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular lenses may have one or more focal points with any additional focal points or any significant light energy (on the optical axis) restricted to within 1.5 diopters (at the corneal plane) of the focal point associated with the labeled power when tested with a 3mm aperture.
Target Area
Like all IOLs, an EDF IOL is implanted within the eye, either within or outside of the capsular bag, in the posterior or anterior chamber.
