ALISO VIEJO, CALIF. − Bausch & Lomb announced today it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to 
market the Akreos™ Advanced Optics Aspheric Lens (model AO60) in the United States.
The Akreos AO Lens is a single-piece, foldable acrylic intraocular lens with a unique four-haptic design and aspheric optics designed to be aberration-free.* The lens is implanted with Bausch & Lomb’s single-use AI-28 inserter, which enables single-handed insertion through an un-enlarged standard phaco incision.
The company expects to begin shipping the Akreos AO Lens to surgical facilities this month.
