What is Vue+?

The Vue+ is a microlens made of a medical grade "hydrogel" material that is similar to the material used in contact lenses.

The lens is mostly water, as is the cornea, and has optical characteristics almost identical to the cornea. The Vue+ has a thickness that is less than half the thickness of a human hair and a diameter of only 2 millimeters, about the same as a pinhead. The lens is bioengineered to help provide nutrients and fluid transport to the cornea and as transparent as natural tears.

 





Vue+ Technology

The Vue+ is designed to improve near and intermediate vision by creating a microscopic, but important, change to the shape of the eye's surface.

  • Only 2.0 mm in diameter, the Vue+ inlay is also ultra-thin being approximately half the thickness of a sheet of paper.

  • The proprietary, bio-engineered, micro-porous, hydrogel material is similar to that of a soft contact lens and is intended to ensure that the Vue+ inlay is biocompatible with the cornea.

  • The Vue+ inlay is inserted just under the eye's outer surface.

  • As the Vue+ inlay is removable, it may be an ideally suited surgical option for near and intermediate vision enhancement.
