Unique lens controlled by your own eye muscle
After years of research and development, Akkolens introduces the Lumina A-IOL. This innovative lens for implantation in the eye, restores your vision and naturally adjusts your sight in accordance to the required distance. Both far and near. This makes the Lumina unique. The Lumina consists of two thin lens elements that, controlled by your own eye muscle, can adjust the focus according to the distance you are looking at. This ensures clear vision at any distance. Sharp vision and seamless focus changes, without annoying visual side effects such as light circles and glare. For a life without glasses.
The unique lens that functions as your own eye
The Lumina A-IOL (accommodative intraocular lens) uses two minutely manufactured, movable optical elements that shift in the eye. They are controlled by the eye's own muscle, similar to how the natural eye lens works.
Turn back the age of your eye
Sooner or later, it affects everyone. The eye's natural ability to focus declines. Its own lens becomes rigid and it takes more and more effort for the eye muscle to maintain the correct convexity of the lens. Glasses are then needed to read. Still later, the human lens can become cloudy and distance vision also declines. This is called a cataract. Cataracts can be treated by replacing your own lens with an artificial lens. This restores vision only for a specific distance. Glasses remain necessary for most activities.
For people who want to be free of glasses, multifocal lenses are also available in recent years. But as with multifocal glasses, these lenses do not always give the desired result. Moreover, there are often visual side effects, such as haloes and glare
The eye focuses by itself
Even in older people, the muscle that controls focusing still works well; it is only the lens that becomes rigid. When the Lumina is implanted, the ability to focus is immediately restored! Your own ability to focus drives the Lumina. You can focus accurately again, for both far and near and everything in between. Without reading glasses, as you were used to previously.
No annoying visual side effects
After an accurate eye measurement, each Lumina is custom-made. Implanting the Lumina is done in the same way as in standard cataract surgery. However, the result is a world of difference. The Lumina seamlessly restores vision for both near and far. Without annoying visual side effects such as light circles and glare.
Ophthalmic revolution, a world of difference
The development of the Lumina involved years of work by Akkolens. The unique high-tech concept of the Lumina is based on the optical physics Alvarez principle, named after Luis Walter Alvarez, American physicist at the University of California Berkeley and Nobel laureate.
Two elements, one variable lens
Together, the Lumina’s two integrated optical elements form one variable lens that allows the focal point to be adjusted according to the distance you are looking at. The eye muscle tightens or relaxes naturally, causing the Lumina elements to shift and the lens to focus at the desired distance.
