Understanding Accommodation

• The ciliary muscle enlarges and redistributes its mass posteriorly.


• The lens increases in thickness and the anterior chamber shallows.
 

• The two forces activated during accommodation are vitreous movement and ciliary muscle swelling.

• Both of these forces can move the optic forward and/or backward during accommodation.

How The Tetraflex™ is designed to Use the Accommodation Process
The Tetraflex was designed to utilize the two forces activated during accommodation— vitreous movement and ciliary swelling— to ensure maximum forward movement for clear near vision.

• Designed with a unique anterior angle orientation due to patented 5° contoured haptic design.


• The Tetraflex optic is designed to act as a “sail,” catching the wave of vitreous to provide maximum forward movement for near vision and a return to the intended plane in the “flat” position for clear intermediate and distance vision.
