IOL

A singular celebration of science over the decades

The A-IOL aims to correct both near and distance eyesight, reduce reliance on glasses or contact lenses, have no glare or halos, and restore the eye’s ability to focus.

Despite recognition of lenticular glutathione’s importance in lens formation for decades, why it declines with age remains a mystery.
