The Synchrony® Dual Optic Accommodating lens is currently in clinical investigation phase. the Study is Closed – No additional participants are being accepted
We are proud to be one of only 20 surgeons selected to be investigators for the new Synchrony® Dual Optic Accommodating lens. Our Clinical Research team is currently studying patients to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the lens, and the potential for functional near vision without glasses. The Synchrony lens is currently an investigational device within the U.S. and is not yet commercially available. Once the Synchrony lens is available, our surgeons, in consultation with the patient, will determine if the patient is a suitable candidate to receive a Synchrony lens.

The Synchrony dual optic accommodating IOL is designed to allow patients to see well at near, intermediate and far distances without glasses or contacts. It features a plus-powered anterior lens and a minus-powered posterior lens that are joined by a unique spring system. When the two lenses are close together, the eye is set for distance. When the ciliary body contracts, reducing capsular bag and zonular tension, the front lens moves forward, changing the eye’s focus to intermediate or near vision.
