Johnson & Johnson Launches New TECNIS Odyssey Next-Generation Intraocular Lens in India Offering Cataract Patients Precise Vision at Every Distance in Any Lighting

Johnson & Johnson announced today that it is expanding its portfolio of presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (PC-IOL) with the roll-out of TECNIS Odyssey IOL in India. The new full visual range IOL offers high-quality and continuous vision with unmatched range. This will allow patients to see clearly from far to near and in between, minimizing their need for glasses. Built on the industry-leading TECNIS platform, combining advanced optics and proprietary materials, TECNIS Odyssey IOL offers consistently clear, high-contrast vision. 
“The TECNIS Odyssey IOL addresses a significant unmet need for cataract patients seeking greater spectacle independence. Its introduction in India expands access to advanced IOL technology designed to deliver high-quality, continuous vision across distances. Together with TECNIS PureSee, TECNIS Odyssey IOL elevates the strength and depth of our IOL portfolio, helping us meet the diverse needs of today’s aging population,” said Burzin Shahana, Country Manager, Surgical Vision India & South Asia, Johnson & Johnson. 
Currently, an estimated 94 million people aged 50 years and over have moderate-to-severe distance vision impairment or blindness that could be corrected through lens replacement surgery. These figures are projected to increase, since presbyopia and cataract development are part of the aging process. Presbyopia is a progressive eye condition that makes it difficult to focus on close objects and usually becomes noticeable around 40 years of age. Full visual range IOLs provide the opportunity to correct presbyopia during lens replacement cataract surgery. 

TECNIS Odyssey provides:
• Enhanced tolerance to refractive error - TECNIS Odyssey is engineered for surgeon confidence as Freeform diffractive profile contributes to enhanced tolerance to residual refractive errors.
94% of patients were satisfied with their overall vision without glasses.
• Optimized dysphotopsia profile - Freeform diffractive profile contributes to a low incidence of bothersome visual disturbances. 
93% of patients either did not report any visual disturbances
• High image contrast - TECNIS Odyssey delivers superior low light contrast
92% satisfaction with ability to see steps and curbs at night.

With a variety of options for different visual needs and lifestyles, the TECNIS platform empowers more patients to find the right solution. This year marks the 25th anniversary of TECNIS innovation at Johnson & Johnson. For over two decades, TECNIS has advanced the science of sight through optics inspired by the natural eye, helping to redefine standards in intraocular lens technology. Built on a legacy of clinical evidence and continuous innovation, TECNIS remains committed to driving progress in eye health and delivering vision outcomes surgeons and patients can trust.
The TECNIS Odyssey IOL, the full range of vision IOL, is now available in India.
