One lens to rule them all! Ditch the lens swapping and embrace the freedom of this exceptional Allrounder.

ACUNEX VarioMax & VarioMax Toric for an easy Cataract, Presbyopia & Astigmatism treatment Multifocal and/or toric premium IOLs are excellent for correcting not only cataracts but also other visual disorders such as presbyopia and astigmatism. You will benefit from improved eyesight and more independence from glasses over all distances. Often, patients no longer need glasses at all.

If you are active and exercise a lot, often must look up and down at work and find glasses disruptive and irritating, a premium IOL may be the right choice for you. With different lens designs, your ophthalmologist can best cater to your individual needs. Some of these special lenses are tailor-made for your eyes in order to achieve the best possible visual result.

Toni Grguric, 68, actually just wanted a new pair of glasses. But an eye examination led to the diagnosis of cataracts. New glasses could no longer solve his vision problem.

As the constant switching between different glasses had frustrated Toni for a long time, it was clear to him: no more compromises, no more glasses. He opted for refractive cataract surgery with a combination of two intraocular lenses from the ACUNEX family: ACUNEX Vario and ACUNEX VarioMax Toric. Today he is glasses-free and ‘more than satisfied’.

Our new patient information animated video "Standard IOL or ACUNEX Vario?" is online!

The concise informational video elucidates the comparative benefits of Extended Depth of Focus (EDoF) lenses relative to conventional monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). It showcases how EDoF technology enhances visual outcomes across a broader range of distances, potentially offering patients improved functional vision in their daily activities.

As we approach the end of the year, it's a great time to reflect on our experiences and gather fresh energy and motivation for 2025! ✨To everyone celebrating Christmas, we wish you joyful holidays filled with warmth and cheer! ? For those taking some time to unwind, may your days be relaxing and rejuvenating. ⭐ And to all, here’s to a dynamic and powerful start to 2025!

In the mood for Christmas spirit? Listen to the Teleon Christmas song here.

As part of the Teleon-Booth Talk Marathon @ ESCRS 2024 in Barcelona, refractive IOL experts Dr. Detlev Breyer and Dr. Florian Kretz talk about premium IOL options and how you can further improve your patients health and your own business simultaneously.

Here are three key professional messages regarding premium IOLs:

1. Patient education is paramount. Every patient should be fully informed about all available IOL options, regardless of preconceptions about their preferences or ability to pay. This empowers patients to make the best choice for their individual needs and circumstances.
2. Avoid pre-judging patient candidacy. Consider every patient a potential candidate for premium IOLs until they decide otherwise. Making assumptions about a patient's interest or financial capacity can lead to missed opportunities for optimal visual outcomes.
3. Focus on patient-centered decision making. The goal is not to upsell or promote the most expensive option, but rather to guide patients in selecting the IOL that best aligns with their visual needs, lifestyle, and priorities. Physicians should provide objective information and recommendations, allowing patients to make informed choices about their eye care.

By adhering to these principles, ophthalmologists can ensure they are providing comprehensive, ethical care that respects patient autonomy and aims for the best possible visual outcomes. The emphasis should always be on meeting individual patient needs rather than promoting specific products or maximizing revenue.

The DOG starts on 10 October 2024 in Berlin and Teleon will of course be there.

This year we will be represented with 2 booths at the DOG: the Teleon main stand in Hall Europa, booth E.16 and a second stand in Hall 2, booth H.42.

As always, we will be presenting cutting-edge solutions for eye surgery – this year's highlights include our IOL product range, the new ViaLuxe laser system for the treatment of glaucoma and the RETI port/scan 21 from Roland Consult.

Visit us at the DOG in Berlin. We look forward to seeing you there.

As part of DOG 2024, we are setting an example for more sustainability. The DOG and Interplan are promoting environmental responsibility, and we are supporting this important goal with our booth concepts. 

Our booths are made from modular, reusable components and sustainable materials to conserve resources and reduce waste. Additionally, we are offsetting our participation through our membership in the Climate Pledge. As one of only 300 companies worldwide, we are committed to achieving net zero carbon by 2040. 

Marketing Director Ulf Nawrocki accepted the DOG Pura award on behalf of Teleon Surgical from Prof. Dr. med. Gerd U. Auffarth, FEBO, FWCRS President of the DOG.

Visit us at the DOG from 10-13.10.2024 in Berlin at booths E.16 and H.42. We look forward to seeing you.

Lampros Kariotoglou, 68 years old from Athens, has been an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon for over 30 years. At the age of 35, he noticed the first signs of hyperopia. He could not see clearly either near or far and no glasses could fulfil his visual needs, which frustrated him greatly. As he got older, presbyopia set in and things got even worse.

He finally decided to have Clear Lens Exchange surgery with ACUNEX Vario and ACUNEX Variomax IOL to become spectacle independent. The visual result exceeded his expectations: He can see clearly without glasses – and not just well, but excellently, from near to far.

Dr. Ruben Aquino is now 73 years old. He is a practicing eye surgeon in his own clinic. Nine years ago, he noticed a change during his surgical procedures. His vision was deteriorating due to the onset of cataracts. 

Eye surgery was and is Ruben`s life and poorer vision was unacceptable for him. He wanted to have surgery on both eyes – and with high expectations of the visual outcome.

So he had an EDOF lens (LENTIS^® Comfort) and a multifocal intraocular lens (LENTIS^® Mplus X) implanted. Now, 9 years after the surgery, Ruben sees like a 30-year-old, with seamless vision from near to far.

At this year's DOC Congress, we were able to acquire a whopping 9,200 euros with our fundraising campaign, nearly doubling last year's contributions.

When handing over the symbolic check, BEBSK branch manager Jane Morgenthal was beaming with joy. Many thanks to all who contributed with their donation.

Fundraising campaign enters its 7th year
Since 2017, we have been inviting guests to our ice cream bar at our DOC stand and at the same time raising funds for the BEBSK e.V. (Bundesvereinigung Eltern blinder und sehbehinderter Kinder e.V. - a federal association of blind and visually impaired children).

Helping others help themselves
The BEBSK e.V. is an association of parents who have made it their task to share their experiences with other affected people and to support them in any situation in life. Since 1995, families have been volunteering throughout the Federal Republic to give affected families a bit of hope for a bright future. To this end, they organise, among other things, cross-regional sports and music weekends, family excursions to high ropes courses in forests or farm visits.

Because BEBSK is financed exclusively through donations and grants, we want to use the DOC’s forum to draw attention to the small association that is 100%-run by volunteers!

100% of the proceeds from the donation boxes go to BEBSK e.V.
By now, the BEBSK e.V. has grown to more than 610 members. The fact that the association continues to grow shows us that we are on the right track and that this voluntary commitment deserves the greatest amount of respect and is needed in society, in particular.

Forum, contact and further information
In the BEBSK online forum, members and guests can discuss all topics that concern blind and visually impaired children, aids/ tools etc. You can register here: forum.bebsk.de

Enough is enough... Ralf (60+) knows that he suffers from cataracts. So far, putting up with glasses was going quite well.

But a nighttime car ride during rainy weather – a key moment – where Ralf could no longer see anything at all was the actual trigger to start his journey for better vision and get cataract surgery done. But what lens to choose? It seems there are thousands of IOL options out there, promising perfect vision. In close deliberation with his eye surgeon, Dr. Isaak Fischinger (Spreebogen eye day clinic in Berlin), he opted for a new enhanced monofocal intraocular lens: ACUNEX Quantum.  And his expectations were 100% met.

Teleon concluded an informative second day at this year's ESCRS congress in Vienna, Austria, by bringing together leading ophthalmology experts to present the achievements of the ACUNEX IOL family at a symposium led by Professor Jod Mehta of the National Eye Center Singapore (SNEC).

Some highlights in advance: 

Presenting for Prof. Rudy Nuijts, Dr. Noël Bauer compared the AcrySof IQ Vivity with the ACUNEX Vario. In this study, the ACUNEX Vario demonstrated better binocular uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), a larger continuous range of vision, fewer visual disturbances – and most importantly for Drs. Bauer and Nuijts, higher spectacle independence for ACUNEX Vario. 

In a study led by ESCRS President Prof. Oliver Findl, presenter Dr. Stefan Palkovits talked through a randomized trial comparing binocular ACUNEX Vario lenses vs. monofocals. Spectacle independence was the focal point here, with ACUNEX Vario showing significant increases in visual acuity over monofocal lenses. “ACUNEX Vario is a safe option for increasing spectacle independence,” Dr. Palkovits reported in his concluding remarks. 

And finally, the venerable Prof. Thomas Kohnen presented preliminary three-month follow-up results on the ACUNEX VarioMax varifocal IOL. Praising the lens’ refractive design, Prof. Kohnen was encouraged by visual acuities at all ranges, high patient satisfaction, and over 80% reported spectacle independence – all with excellent contrast sensitivity.

The full recording is now on YouTube!

Top names in cataract released the latest on Teleon’s FEMTIS and ACUNEX IOLs in a symposium and series of booth talks on Day 2 of ESCRS 2023.

A bewildering variety of optical designs, materials and defocus curves awaits the modern cataract surgeon navigating the crowded intraocular lens (IOL) market in 2023. And nowhere else is this more apparent than the proverbial World Cup of cataract and refractive surgery – the annual congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS). This year’s 41st version of the Congress (ESCRS 2023) was no exception.

Teleon was content to let the data and patient outcomes with their latest ACUNEX and FEMTIS IOLs speak for itself. A round of presentations and booth talks showcasing the latest research from renowned names like Dr. Florian Kretz, Prof. Thomas Kohnen, Prof. Rudy Nuijts, Prof. Oliver Findl and more showed just what Teleon’s optics offer cataract surgeons and their patients.

Brian Hamilton (80+) from UK has the classic symptoms of people who have cataract. Low contrast vision, dull colour perception. Driving his beloved car or playing golf pre-surgery resemble rather gambling arts than hobbies performed with skill.

He decided to do something about his eye condition, therefore, cataract surgery with modern intraocular lenses was his preferred choice. After the implantation with the LENTIS Comfort – an EDOF IOL with advanced segmented optics – he is very grateful.

“Today, I have absolutely no problems, what`s so ever“, concludes Brian. “Everything is clear as crystals. It is transforming my daily life. It is a gift. I am very grateful to have been given back a clear vision.”

Patient Journey #1 introduces Teleon employee Ute Schneider. Ute suffered greatly from her presbyopia, which required her to wear glasses all the time. After implantation of two multifocal LENTIS Mplus intraocular lenses, she enjoys her new (spectacle) freedom and perfect vision over all distances.

A whopping €3,250 was collected for BEBSK e.V. at this year's DOC in Nuremberg. After the summer break, Teleon CEO Mark Lansu surprised branch manager Jane Morgenthal and presented her with the obligatory check.

"It's always a great gift for us. Especially as a small association, we are very happy when companies appreciate our almost exclusively voluntary work and support us,” says Ms. Morgenthal.

Fundraising campaign enters its 5th year

Since 2017, we have been inviting guests to our ice cream bar at our DOC stand and at the same time raising funds for the BEBSK e.V. (Bundesvereinigung Eltern blinder und sehbehinderter Kinder e.V. - a federal association of blind and visually impaired children).

Helping others help themselves

The BEBSK e.V. is an association of parents who have made it their task to share their experiences with other affected people and to support them in any situation in life.

Since 1995, families have been volunteering throughout the Federal Republic to give affected families a bit of hope for a bright future. To this end, they organise, among other things, cross-regional sports and music weekends, family excursions to high ropes courses in forests or farm visits.

Because BEBSK is financed exclusively through donations and grants, we want to use the DOC’s forum to draw attention to the small association that is 100%-run by volunteers!

100% of the proceeds from the donation boxes go to BEBSK e.V.

By now, the BEBSK e.V. has grown to more than 610 members. The fact that the association continues to grow shows us that we are on the right track and that this voluntary commitment deserves the greatest amount of respect and is needed in society, in particular.

Forum, contact and further information

In the BEBSK online forum, members and guests can discuss all topics that concern blind and visually impaired children, aids/ tools etc. You can register here: forum.bebsk.de

Email (main office): geschaeftsstelle@bebsk.de

Sustainability: A Message from Mark Lansu

Teleon Surgical’s CEO, Mark Lansu, talks about the company’s vision for achieving sustainability in eye care

What is your vision for achieving sustainability in eye care?
Sustainability goes far beyond eye care and is more an attitude towards the kind of future world we want for us, for our children, and our grandchildren. At Teleon, we have made it one of the three main pillars of our corporate vision and that means not only designing sustainable products and solutions for eye care, but also becoming a sustainable organization as a whole.

What steps has Teleon taken towards achieving sustainability goals?
In 2019, we built one of the most modern IOL manufacturing plants in the world in Spankeren, the Netherlands; it is completely free of fossil fuel use. An intelligent building design and architecture ensures we use as little energy as possible both for our processes and for heating and cooling. I invite you to come and see what we are achieving here!

Have any events affected your sustainability goals?
The current geopolitical events shaking up the world are going to have a drastic influence on how we look at sustainability, and they are already having a huge impact on sourcing and distributing energy, which is the lifeblood of every economy. This also drives us to become completely fossil fuel free and reach carbon net zero even faster.

Which sustainability-focused groups are you working with?
Last January, we became a signatory of The Climate Pledge, a commitment for businesses and organizations to take collective action to tackle the world’s greatest crisis, and to work together to build a safe and healthy planet for future generations. So far, 315 businesses have joined, including Microsoft and Unilever. Companies and organizations that sign The Climate Pledge agree to three areas of action:

• Measure and report greenhouse gas emissions on a regular basis
• Implement decarbonization strategies in line with the Paris Agreement through business changes and innovations, including efficiency improvements, renewable energy, materials reductions, and other carbon emission elimination strategies
• Neutralize any remaining emissions with additional, quantifiable, permanent, and socially-beneficial offsets to achieve net-zero annual carbon emissions by 2040.

I believe that joining the climate pledge underlines our commitment to sustainability across Teleon, and stresses the fact that we have chosen a carbon net zero strategy as one of our central company goals.

In a new video series, Teleon accompanies patients with various vision disorders on their very personal journey to better vision.

Patient Journey #1 introduces Teleon employee Ute Schneider. Ute suffered greatly from her presbyopia, which required her to wear glasses all the time. After the implantation of two multifocal LENTIS Mplus intraocular lenses, she enjoys her new (spectacle) freedom and perfect vision over all distances.

With the ACUNEX®, LENTIS® and FEMTIS® intraocular lenses and one of the world's leading multifocal lens optics, Teleon offers state-of-the-art solutions for cataract surgery.

The innovative company from Spankeren (Netherlands) received the Parel Award 2022 on May 19th from the deputy mayor of the municipality of Rheden, Gea Hofstede, and the director of the Nijmegen Economic Board, Rijn Platteel.

Deputy Mayor Hofstede: “I am pleased that an innovative company like Teleon is based in the Rheden. It's a company we can be proud of as a region. Teleon meets local and regional ambitions, such as the expansion of the sustainable economy. With their modern production and research facility in Spankeren, they contribute to the employment and strengthening of the health sector in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region.” John van Sambeek, representatitive of the Economic Board, is also very proud of Teleon: "It is very good for the health care sector that such an innovative company is based in Lifeport."

Teleon Surgical has kept many business processes in-house, making it one of the last independent manufacturers of IOLs – intraocular lenses - in the world. A total of 150 employees work for the company. According to Van Sambeek, this is one of the company's greatest strengths. “Because the company focuses development and production at the Spankeren site, our region can make a difference in the field of intraocular lenses. Patients wordwide can rely on 30 years of experience and expertise of this Dutch company.”

Sustainable commitment to a healthy future
In 2019, Teleon opened a new commercial building built entirely sustainably. Heat pumps are used instead of gas. This is one of the ways in which the company demonstrates its social commitment. According to CEO Mark Lansu, this is one of Teleon's drivers: “We care a lot about our environment. We want to help people, now and in the future. In order to achieve this, we make a contribution to a healthy future. The exclusive focus on sales and profit does not contribute to this. Therefore, mindfulness for people and the environment is an essential part of Teleon’s longtime goals and philosophy."

The new building is also the place where the Parel Award was presented. All staff were present and The Economic Board was given a tour. “We have not yet been able to celebrate the opening of the building, so this is the first event at the new location!”

Eighteenth award ceremony with a new name
This is the eighteenth time that The Economic Board has presented the Parel Award. After being called "Parel van de Regio" - "Pearl of the Region" for years, it was renamed "Parel van Lifeport" this year. The award thus has a stronger connection to the healthy and sustainable life that the region stands for.

Almost every year (2020 is the exception of the rule), more than six million people clad in tight-fitted bodices and H-shaped suspenders visit Munich for a traditional festivity known as Oktoberfest proudly branded as the world‘s largest fair.

This year, the impact of COVID-19 is undoubtedly dramatic: no Oktoberfest. Furthermore, ESCRS goes virtual.

If you have spent any time on social media in the last few months, you have inevitably seen a host of breathless articles opining on how “Coronavirus Will Change XYZ Forever.” Maybe, maybe not, because it is also human nature to overcome all obstacles and to break new ground.

Our planned “Mini-Oktoberfest” at our brand-new factory site clashed on numerous levels with the stricter travel regulations, BUT it will not be cancelled. We are going virtual as well:

2nd October 2020

10pm-midnight (Sydney) | 9pm-11pm (Tokyo) | 2pm-4pm (Amsterdam/Berlin) | 8am-10am (New York) | 5am-7am (LA)

Register asap for this unique opportunity because as chance would have it, an “Oktoberfest Surprise-Box*” will be delivered prior the event to your home to really Get-Together.

Registration: If you are interested in participating, please write an e-mail using the reference line “Teleon Oktoberfest” to marketing@teleon-surgical.com to receive your personal invitation.

Visit our booth, C5, and learn everything about our broad product portfolio from our team on site.

Our parent company, the Dutch company Teleon Surgical BV, combined all of the group's activities under one brand at the beginning of the year. We are thus standardizing our brand and market presence in Germany under our parent company, the independent manufacturer of our own IOL global brands LENTIS^®, FEMTIS^® and ACUNEX^®, as Teleon Surgical. Moreover, we offer commercial products in Germany, like LENSAR^®, ZEPTO^® and brand new in our range: TIXEL^®.

TIXEL^® - Radiation-free technology for eyelid and periorbital treatments
TIXEL^® is a novel, non-ablative system that is supported by Novoxel's patented titanium tip technology. The handy device works with direct heat and is completely radiation-free.

We look forward to your visit in Mainz!
DGII, Mainz, February 13-15, booth C5

The ACUNEX^® VARIOMAX multifocal lenses for presbyopia corrections combine the optical advantages of multifocal segment optics with 3.0 dpt addition (MAX3) with those of the state-of-the-art, glistening-free hydrophobic IOL material of the ACUNEX^® family of lenses (NoGLIS).

The hydrophobic IOL makes use of the functional design and optical principle of the LENTIS^® Mplus MIOL*, which has proven itself in more than 500,000 implantations worldwide for more than 10 years.

The main benefits of these modern, multifocal segment optics is the use of much more light energy when compared to MIOL with diffractive optical ring designs. As a result, reflections, glare / halos or other light phenomena that may occur during twilight or backlight are minimised and vision with higher contrast is maximised for all distances.

Further information is available here.

As in the past two years, ice cream – and this year popcorn, too – was diligently distributed for charity at the Teleon booth. A total of nearly 1,000 € in donations was collected and, once more, we matched and doubled it to reach 2,000.00 €. On the trade fair’s last day Teleon CEO Mark Lansu handed over the full donations box to Jonathan, who had travelled to Nuremberg with his family specifically for this occasion. Jonathan's family has been volunteering for the BEBSK e.V. (Bundesvereinigung Eltern blinder und sehbehinderter Kinder e.V. - a federal association of blind and visually impaired children) for many years.

Jonathan proudly accepted the full donation box on behalf of BEBSK e.V. from our CEO Mark Lansu himself.

Almost every cent still benefits the children directly at the association that was founded in 1995. That has been convincing us to use the DOC forum for two years now to draw attention to the small association of volunteers, which is financed exclusively through donations and grants and a few members’ fees. And so while in the course of this year's donations the funds collected were slightly lower than last year's, we still managed to double the result in 2017. The donations were collected directly at the Teleon booth in mobile donation boxes as well as the large donation box at the ice cream truck.

The BEBSK e.V. (Bundesvereinigung Eltern blind- und sehbehinderter Kinder e.V.) is an association of parents who have made it their task to share their experiences with other affected persons and to support them in all situations of life. Since 1995, these families have been involving themselves as volunteers to ‘help others to help themselves’ and give affected families hope for a bright future. By now, nearly 900 permanent members are organised in this small association.

The federal association sees itself as an initial point of contact for families and helps those affected individually and as a community. The focus always lies on blind or severely visually impaired children, for whom, among other things, the members organise cross-regional weekends full of sports and musical activities, family excursions to high-ropes courses in forests or farm visits. The aim is to counteract the permanent risk of exclusion and isolation of families and children. Furthermore, the work is directed at strengthening and supporting parents in their knowledge and position by offering seminars on legal matters or special techniques for the blind.

The BEBSK and Teleon would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all donors who helped achieve this great result on site!

IOL case study by Patrick Versace, MD

In the last ten years we have witnessed the growing popularity and range of multifocal IOLs.

Nevertheless, conventional MIOLs in particular, with rotationally symmetrical, diffractive optical systems, are associated with side effects such as reduced contrast sensitivity, increased visual aberrations, halos, glare and negative dysphotopsia. In some cases, patients feel so disturbed by these occurrences that they decide to have an IOL replacement.

Replacing a multifocal IOL with LENTIS^® Comfort can help prevent postoperative problems with dysphotopsia and glare. The present case study shows that patients who are dissatisfied with the visual results after the implantation of a conventional multifocal IOL can greatly benefit from an IOL replacement with a LENTIS^® Comfort, as the latter virtually guarantees an expanded field of vision without photic phenomena.
