THE IDEA
Caretakers – husbands, wives, adult children – have to help patients with cataracts decide what IOL to choose. However, they have a difficult time understanding how cataracts affect their loved ones and how they will see the world after the surgery.
Clarity Glasses were designed to help Caretakers experience what life pre- and post-surgery would be like. The glasses feature clip-on lenses that simulate vision at various stages of cataract, as well as vision with different IOL options after surgery. With the help of these glasses, HCPs were able to show the caretakers what their loved ones are going through and why surgical replacement with a premium lens is not only important, but critical for a person’s independence and quality of life.
The initial set of 600 sets of the Clarity Glasses were distributed across the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Hong Kong and China.
The resounding support from eye care professionals led to the development and distribution of 1500 more sets, blurring the lines between even more patients and caregivers to bring clarity to choosing an IOL.
