IC-8® Apthera™ IOL
Small Aperture Extended Depth of Focus IOLs
The IC-8® Apthera™ IOL is the first small aperture presbyopia-correcting lens that delivers extended depth of focus through its distinctive, wavefront-filtering design.
Harness the Power of Focused Light
By filtering out defocused light rays, the IC-8® Apthera™ IOL helps many patients achieve a broader range of vision—from near to far—while maintaining continuous visual clarity.

Extending Range, Brilliantly
Expanded Vision with Reliable Outcomes
The IC-8® Apthera™ IOL helps broaden visual range across multiple distances, manages mild astigmatism effectively, and promotes reliable outcomes for your patients and practice.
- Enhance Surgical Outcomes: Designed to deliver clear vision across multiple distances—near, intermediate, and far.
- Achieve Excellent Patient Satisfaction: Reduce “blurry zones” so patients can enjoy everyday activities with greater freedom and fewer visual distractions.
- Versatile Performance: Excellent results in eyes with up to 1.5 D of corneal astigmatism.
- Optimized Clarity: Patients benefit from sharp images and monofocal-like binocular contrast sensitivity in bright and low light conditions.

Intuitive Integration
Monofocal-Like Procedure:Fits into familiar surgical workflows with minimal intra-operative learning curve.
Of all cataract patients present with
1.5D of corneal astigmatism or less2
Consistent results, even with astigmatism
The IC-8® Apthera™ IOL delivers reliable results in eyes with no or as much as 1.5D of corneal astigmatism without the demanding process of axis alignment.1,3
Enhancing Vision From Near to Far
Precision Technology for Extended Depth of Focus
At the heart of the IC-8® Apthera™ IOL is a small aperture design and wavefront-filtering technology, delivering clear, continuous vision from near to far, while maintaining the surgical familiarity you know and rely on.
Central Aperture Design
- Precise Light Control: The Apthera™ IOL wavefront-filtering technology focuses only higher-quality light to the retina while filtering out unfocused, low-quality light.
- Small Aperture Technology: Continuously extended depth of focus for a seamless range of vision near to far.
Carbon Black FilterRing™
- Hydrophobic Acrylic Platform: Trusted in cataract surgery for its biocompatibility and clarity.
- UV-Blocking and Glare Reduction: Carbon Black FilterRing™ incorporates recognized standards for patient ocular safety.
Built on a Trusted Monofocal Platform
- Surgical Familiarity: The IC-8® Apthera™ IOL uses a high-quality monofocal platform, so surgeons can expect the handling and implantation ease they already know while addressing presbyopia.
- Reliable Materials: Hydrophobic acrylic and UV-blocking construction offer durability and safety.
Monofocal-like Distance Vision
Vision for Everyday Activities
The IC-8® Apthera™ IOL is implanted monocularly, with your preferred monofocal or monofocal toric IOL in the other eye.
With a small amount of near correction (-0.75 D) in the IC-8® Apthera™ IOL eye and emmetropia in the fellow eye, patients can achieve monofocal-like distance vision, while providing enhanced visual acuity through intermediate and near for everyday activities.
Additionally, this intentional combination delivers binocular monofocal-like contrast sensitivity in bright and low light conditions.
