Clareon® PanOptix® Pro

After five years and thousands of successful PanOptix® implants with Dr. Cohen, we introduced PanOptix® Pro earlier this year. Initial results have been outstanding, maintaining the full-range vision PanOptix® is known for while improving clarity and nighttime comfort. Individual outcomes may vary.

Restore Clear Vision with Advanced Cataract Lens Implants

A cataract occurs when the natural lens of your eye becomes cloudy, affecting vision. During cataract surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a permanent intraocular lens (IOL), which will determine your vision quality for years to come. At Cohen Eye Institute, we use Clareon® PanOptix® Pro, a premium lens implant for both Premium Lens Cataract Surgery and Clear (Refractive) Lens Exchange, often paired with Laser Cataract Surgery for enhanced precision and outcomes.

Key Features

Lens Type: Premium trifocal lens on the Clareon® hydrophobic acrylic platform, also available in toric versions to correct astigmatism for sharper vision.
What’s New Compared to PanOptix®: Equipped with ENLIGHTEN® NXT Optical Technology, this lens delivers about 94% light utilization and roughly 50% less light scatter than the previous PanOptix®, helping reduce glare and visual disturbances for clearer, more comfortable vision.
Range of Vision: True trifocal performance for distance, intermediate, and near vision, providing approximately +2.17 D for intermediate and +3.25 D for near vision—designed to give the ideal lens power for the sharpest vision at all distances.
Delivery System: The first presbyopia-correcting lens in the U.S. to use the Clareon AutonoMe® preloaded system, ensuring consistent, controlled implantation with a single-use design.

Why Dr. Cohen Prefers PanOptix® Pro

Improved Light Clarity: PanOptix® Pro delivers approximately 94% light utilization and around 50% less light scatter compared to the original PanOptix®, based on bench and simulator data. This design reduces veiling glare and halos, with early patient feedback in our practice, particularly for night driving, proving very positive.
Smoother Vision Across Distances: The lens provides more continuous light distribution, supporting natural transitions from distance tasks like driving to intermediate tasks like computer work and near tasks such as reading.
Advanced Material and Delivery: Built on Alcon’s latest Clareon® platform, PanOptix® Pro is available in a preloaded, single-use AutonoMe® system, promoting consistent and precise lens placement.
Maintaining the Range Patients Love: PanOptix® Pro retains the near and intermediate adds that make PanOptix® so convenient, while refining light handling to enhance visual quality. Patients can continue to enjoy excellent vision for reading, computer use, and daily activities with minimal reliance on glasses.

Is PanOptix® Pro Right for You?

Who It’s Ideal For:

Patients seeking the full trifocal range for reading, distance, and computer work.
Those who want a trifocal lens with improved night-time clarity compared to the previous PanOptix®
Individuals with astigmatism who want correction included in the same procedure using Pro Toric.

Who Might Consider Alternatives:

If you are highly sensitive to night-time halos, a non-diffractive, ring-less lens like Vivity may be preferable.
If you want a different trifocal light-management approach, enVista Envy may be recommended.
During your consultation, we will review your eye health and lifestyle to help you choose the lens that best meets your visual needs and daily activities.

What to Expect

Consultation & Planning: During your initial visit, we perform a thorough eye exam, map your cornea, and optimize your ocular surface. Using our RealSight™ system, we determine the best lens power for your vision goals, whether that’s reading, computer work, or night driving.
Laser-Assisted Surgery: Surgery is guided by advanced computer technology to create precise incisions, break up the cloudy lens, and align toric lenses if needed. This is our standard approach for Premium Lens Cataract Surgery.
Recovery: Many patients notice clearer vision within 1–2 days, with vision continuing to improve over several weeks as your eyes adjust to the trifocal lens.

FAQs

Is PanOptix Pro FDA‑approved?

Yes. PanOptix® Pro, including the trifocal toric models, is FDA-approved and has been available in the U.S. since 2025.

Will I see halos at night?

Some halos or glare can occur with any trifocal lens. PanOptix® Pro is designed to reduce this, and our early patient experience shows minimal night-time visual disturbances. Individual results may vary.

How strong is the reading range?

PanOptix® Pro keeps the same near and intermediate vision adds as PanOptix®, making reading and computer work easier for most patients. We can adjust the lens to match your personal reading needs.

Can it correct astigmatism?

Yes. The Pro Toric lenses correct astigmatism at the same time, and we use laser guidance to ensure precise alignment.
