Swiss Advanced Vision
(SAV-IOL), the Swiss manu-
facturer of innovative intraocular
lenses, discussed its project to
develop an active lens with real-
time autofocus and wireless con-
nectivity, termed Real-Time
Autofocus Servo Control, or R-
TASC. Still in the research and
fundraising phase, the lens would
fully restore accommodative func-
tion using a solar energy capture
system paired with a varifocal lens
to allow real-time focus adjustment
on any object the patient views,
solving the lack of accommodation
reflex common to other IOLs.
The R-TASC would be fitted
alongside an implanted monofocal
lens for distance vision, or added
to patients who already have a
monofocal lens but want to restore
their visual accommodation. The
R-TASC would be placed in the
anterior chamber, sitting between
the cornea and the iris, as a com-
plement to the eye's natural lens
rather than a replacement for it,
says the company.
SAV-IOL already offers an EDOF
(Extended Depth of Focus) IOL,
Harmonis, that's
customizable via a
"try before you buy"-
style online configu-
rator that surgeons
and patients can
explore together to
find the optimal
vision configuration before the lens
is ordered.

The "next generation" of this manu-
ally operated device incorporates
feedback from the field to deliver
improved device preparation, aes-
thetics, handling and ergonomics,
says the company. Its dual func-
tions are titratable trabeculotomy
and transluminal viscoelastic deliv-
ery. Surgeons can target all 3
sources of resistance in the con-
ventional outflow pathway —trabec-
ular meshwork, Schlemm's canal,
and distal collector channels —
with the device in a single surgery.
It delivers small amounts of vis-
coelastic fluid through a custom
microcatheter, and can also cut tra-
becular meshwork tissue during
trabeculotomy procedures. One
caveat: It shouldn't be used in cases
where there's insufficient visualiza-
tion of the anterior chamber.
