The portfolio of 1stQ AddOn® IOLs from Medicontur allows surgeons to provide high-quality vision for patients seeking to reduce spectacle dependence for distance or for a full range of vision. Available in refractive, toric, trifocal, and trifocal toric models, the 1stQ AddOn® portfolio offers opportunities to correct residual refractive error or upgrade to presbyopia correction in pseudophakic patients. In addition, the use of the trifocal and trifocal toric models in a planned dual procedure gives cataract surgery patients the benefit of presbyopia correction while allowing for simple reversibility if they are unhappy with the results or develop incompatible pathology in the future.

The 1stQ AddOn® supplementary IOL platform has acquired a long track record of efficacy and safety. The current version of the lens was first implanted in Europe in 2010. Today, the 1stQ AddOn® lenses are available in 48 countries and for more than a decade in most.

Designed by German engineer Rudiger Dworschak, the 1stQ AddOn® platform was created to overcome the risks associated with IOL placement in the ciliary sulcus. Its unique 4-flex haptic configuration maintains positional stability. Features of both the haptics and optic design serve to maintain iris function, anterior segment physiology, and clearance between the AddOn® and  intracapsular IOL.

Clinical experience with the 1stQ AddOn® IOLs establishes their safety, demonstrates the predictability of the refractive outcomes, and documents their ability to provide high level visual acuity and quality. Further data on outcomes with secondary implantation of the 1stQ AddOn® trifocal or trifocal toric IOL to correct residual spherical refractive error, astigmatism, and presbyopia in pseudophakic patients is being collected in a prospective, multinational clinical trial underway in six centers in Europe.
