  • VERITAS™ Vision System is a recently launched next-generation phacoemulsification (phaco) system designed to address three critical areas: patient safety, surgeon efficiency and comfort
  • More than 40 abstracts will be presented across a range of Johnson & Johnson Vision products including: TECNIS Synergy® IOL, TECNIS Eyhance® IOL and VERITAS™ Vision System

Amsterdam, The Netherlands (4 October 2021) – Johnson & Johnson Vision*, a global leader in eye health and part of the Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies**, will showcase the new VERITAS™ Vision System and a range of clinical data relating to their products at the upcoming European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) 2021 Annual Meeting, 8-11 October.

VERITAS™ Vision System is a next-generation phacoemulsification (phaco) system designed to address three critical areas: patient safety, surgeon efficiency and comfort. It features several innovations to provide a better surgical experience and is now available to experience in person for the first time in Europe at the Johnson & Johnson ESCRS Booth (#B14). 

In addition, 29 scientific communications from both Johnson & Johnson Vision sponsored studies and investigator-initiated studies (IIS) will be presented, including TECNIS Synergy® IOL, TECNIS Eyhance® IOL and TECNIS® Toric II IOL (a next-generation monofocal IOL launched earlier this year). Data presented at ESCRS will show excellent visual performance and rotational stability across the TECNIS® IOL portfolio1-4

“It’s been another fantastic year for Johnson and Johnson Vision,” said Warren Foust, Worldwide President, Surgical at Johnson & Johnson Vision. “Not only are we celebrating 20 years of TECNIS® but we’ve also just launched our VERITAS™ Vision System, which is now available in Europe. The VERITAS™ Vision System is designed to give better fluidics and increased chamber stability, and has had excellent feedback from the clinical community. Do come and speak to us at ESCRS to find out more.”

“I’m so excited to be meeting our customers face-to-face at this year’s ESCRS,” said Erin McEachren, Regional Vice President, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision. “In addition to the wealth of data being presented around our products, it is great to be showcasing new innovations like the TECNIS® Toric II platform and VERITAS™ Vision System. I’m pleased to announce as well that you’ll be able to experience the VERITAS™ Swivel Handpiece at our ESCRS Booth, which puts ease of maneuverability and comfort in the hands of ophthalmologists5.”
