Cataract surgery just entered a golden age with the recent historic FDA approval of the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) TECNIS PureSee IOL (intraocular lens). In Episode 146 of the @DoctorPodcasts Show, host Dr. Robert Cykiert speaks with world-renowned cataract surgeon, Dr. Eric Donnenfeld, and J&J Vision Senior Medical Director and ophthalmologist, Dr. Brian Schwam, to break down this major milestone. If you or a loved one suffer from blurry vision, halos and glare due to cataracts, standard monofocal IOL lenses often lock you into wearing reading glasses all the time. The J&J Tecnis PureSee represents a massive premium IOL leap forward—using a purely refractive design rather than older diffractive rings. This allows patients to maintain maximum contrast sensitivity and crisp vision across all distances - distance, intermediate and near - without losing light intensity, contrast and brightness. Discover why 97% of PureSee patients recommend this treatment and whether you are a prime candidate for this IOL lens. Subscribe to The DoctorPodcasts Show for frequent medical expert insights!
