Matrix Acrylic is the newest technology available in acrylic lens design. This unique foldable, hydrophobic lens combines exceptional material and design properties to achieve truly innovative results.

Biostability

•  Unique foldable hydrophobic acrylic material
•  Single monomer formulation developed to be biostable
•  High index of refraction

Biomechanics

•  Highest tensile strength designed to resist optic damage during folding and insertion
•  Polyvinylidene (PVDF) haptics chosen for their superior memory and compressibility, designed to ensure complete shape recovery1


Diameter: 6.0 mm optic Haptic: PVDF – Modified C
Material: Hydrophobic acrylic   A Constant: 118.5
Range: 0.0 to 30.0 Diopters   Refractive Index (@25 C): 1.56

Proven Design Properties

Optic

Symmetric biconvex optic designed to:

•  Minimize cosmetically undesirable external reflection in the pupil2
•  Minimize internally reflected glare2
•  Provide consistent lens geometry across all diopters, maximizing refractive predictability

Full optic design

•  No redundant outer ring to reduce effective optic zone
•  Fully functional 6 mm optic

Sharp edge designed to:

•  Reduce potential for lens epithelial cell migration onto posterior capsule

Haptics

•  Polyvinylidene (PVDF) haptics to eliminate capsule folds and enhance stability
•  5 ° angulation designed to provide early and effective optic/capsule contact thereby minimizing migration of lens epithelial cells to the posterior capsule3

Matrix Acrylic — offering all the advantages of other hydrophobic acrylic lenses, with none of the compromises.

A clinical study of Matrix Acrylic is currently underway in the U.S.A.
