Telegraph : A new lens has been developed to correct for many types of vision problems, such as astigmatism, far- and near-sightedness, and cataracts. Abbott Medical Optics, a global medical supply company based in Santa Ana, California, has developed its TECNIS Symfony artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to replace the eye’s natural lens. The new IOL design allows more light to pass through than previous IOLs and features tiny concentric circular grooves, which extend the range of vision by affecting the way the light is bent. Clinical trials have proven successful in aging adults whose vision had gradually deteriorated due to cataracts and other age-related problems.
