Expand your range of clear vision with the TECNIS PureSee™ IOL at OnSight Eye Center in Bend, OR. Designed specifically for patients with cataracts or age-related changes in near vision, this advanced lens provides continuous vision across distances while helping reduce dependence on glasses for many everyday activities after lens replacement.
Extend Clear Vision Across More Distances
TECNIS PureSee is an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) used to replace the eye’s natural lens during cataract surgery. Unlike a traditional monofocal IOL that primarily focuses vision at one distance, PureSee is designed to provide a continuous range of vision, with strong distance and intermediate vision and functional near vision. This may reduce reliance on glasses for activities such as driving, using a computer, and viewing a phone.
PureSee uses proprietary OptiCurve™ technology and a purely refractive optical design rather than the diffractive rings found in many multifocal lenses. Its design extends depth of focus while maintaining contrast sensitivity comparable to an aspheric monofocal lens and a monofocal-like visual disturbance profile. At OnSight Eye Center, Dr. Brian Desmond can determine whether PureSee aligns with your eyes, lifestyle, and vision goals.
You May Consider TECNIS PureSee If:
- You have cataracts that are affecting the clarity of your vision
- You want strong distance and intermediate vision after cataract surgery
- You want functional near vision for many everyday tasks
- You are concerned about bothersome visual disturbances such as halos
- You want to reduce your dependence on glasses across multiple distances
- You understand that reading glasses may still be necessary for fine near tasks
Benefits of TECNIS PureSee:
See Clearly Across a Continuous Range
TECNIS PureSee extends your depth of focus, providing strong distance and intermediate vision with functional near vision. This can make activities such as driving, working at a computer, viewing your phone, and navigating your surroundings more convenient.
Maintain Strong Contrast Sensitivity
PureSee is the first FDA-approved EDOF IOL in the U.S. without a warning for decreased contrast sensitivity. Clinical testing has shown contrast sensitivity comparable to a monofocal lens, helping preserve visual quality when objects do not contrast with surroundings.
Experience Fewer Bothersome Visual Disturbances
PureSee uses a purely refractive optical design rather than the diffractive rings found in many multifocals. It delivers a monofocal-like visual disturbance profile, with 97% of patients in clinical testing reporting no very bothersome visual disturbances after their procedure.
Reduce Your Dependence on Glasses
By extending useful vision beyond a single focal point, PureSee may reduce how often you need glasses for daily activities. In clinical testing, 90% of patients reported wearing glasses only occasionally or never six months after receiving their PureSee lenses.
What Results Can Be Expected From TECNIS PureSee?
Your vision may begin to improve within the first few days after TECNIS PureSee implantation, although temporary blurriness may occur as your eye heals. Over the following weeks, your vision stabilizes as you adapt to the lens. By three to six months, you can expect your longer-term visual outcome, including strong distance and intermediate vision. You may also rely less on glasses, although readers may remain necessary for small print.
