Alcon, Inc. announced its launch of the AcrySof(R) IQ ReSTOR(R) Multifocal Toric intraocular lens (IOL) outside the United States during the 2010 European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) annual meeting in Paris, France. This new lens is built on Alcon's industry leading AcrySof(R) platform and is designed to provide cataract patients that have astigmatism a surgical option that delivers quality vision at all distances with increased spectacle independence.
Alcon completed its CE Mark of the AcrySof(R) IQ ReSTOR(R) Toric IOL during the second quarter of 2010, and this lens is now becoming available in many major markets which recognize the CE Mark. The company plans to file a Pre-Market Application (PMA) for the lens with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in early 2012.
