The
intraocular lenses (IOL) from Rayner - newly introduced
to Australia - can be welcomed by both surgeons and patients,
allowing enhancement to cataract surgery, and offering patients
significant clinical and long-term advantages.
With an IOL the magic of sight returns. Light,
colours and form that were dull and vague become fresh and sharp;
quality of life is transformed as a faded and obscured world is
made clear.
Rayner’s lenses are the first European IOLs to get TGA
approval in over a decade. Designs for Vision has introduced Rayner’s
IOL into the market with the C-flex™ injectable acrylic
IOL system.
The C-flex™ (570C) Rayacryl IOL:
- Patented AVH™ technology
- Unique Enhanced Square Edge™ optics for
reduced PCO
- Overall length of 12.0mm and an optic diameter
of 5.75mm
- All the advantages of Rayacryl™: such
as biocompatibility, low PCO and low Silicone Oil affinity.
- Available from +8.0 to +30.0 Dioptres in 0.5D
steps. +30D to +34D in 1D steps
- C-flex™ lenses are supplied in a 0.9%
saline solution in a blister pack terminally sterilised with
moist heat -ready to be opened under aseptic conditions in the
Operating Room
The
C-flex™ single-use injector
- Syringe-shaped plastic injector with hexagonal
nozzle
- Sub-3mm incision
- Single-use - convenience of use
- Safe - ethylene oxide sterilised in the pack
- No more delays waiting for metal injectors
to be sterilised
The C-flex™ eye shield
- For use as eye protection after the cataract
operation
- Transparent - the patient immediately appreciates
the benefits of IOL surgery
- Single-use with self-adhesive tabs.
- Ethylene oxide sterilised

TECHNOLOGY- Anti-vaulting Haptic Technology
Perfect centration and zero vaulting: giving superbly
predictable and sustained visual results. C-flex™ (570C)
injectable Rayacryl™ IOLs have anti-vaulting haptics, developed
to provide maximum lens stability and centration.
Soon after implantation, the haptics compress progressively in
response to capsular contraction. In cases of asymmetric or excessive
contraction, this response provides sufficient resistance in the
lens to prevent vaulting or tilting of the optic. The outer and
inner loops "lock" onto themselves, creating new bending
fulcra. This action prevents dislocation due to buckling or twisting
of the haptics.
The new technology is already approved and widely used in Europe,
Middle East, Asia, South America and South Africa. The convenient
combination of eye-shield, injector and lens all in the one pack
has proved a success for Rayner elsewhere in the world - and the
IOL system is now available in Australia.

NEW - T-flex Toric IOL
The T-flex™ Toric IOL is a superior alternative to
toric IOLs with restricted range of torus and a
precise alternative to incisional correction
of corneal astigmatism.
By incorporating a torus (cylindrical correction) on the anterior spherical optic surface, the Rayner T-flex™ Toric IOL provides
a superior, reliable alternative to incisional keratotomy and Limbal Relaxing Incisions (LRIs) for the treatment of pre-existing corneal astigmatism.
The T-flex™ Toric IOL is particularly useful for those cataract patients where incisional methods would provide inadequate astigmatic correction. The choice of a T-flex™ Toric IOL leads to more precise surgical results, especially for cases of severe astigmatism: patients with a history of corneal pathology, keratoconus with penetrating keratoplasty (corneal grafts) and patients with burns and corneal scarring.
