Johnson & Johnson’s Big Bet on Vision—What Makes TECNIS Odyssey Stand Out?

Johnson & Johnson has launched its next-generation intraocular lens (IOL), TECNIS Odyssey, across Europe, the Middle East, and Canada, offering cataract patients precise vision at all distances in any lighting condition.

 

The TECNIS Odyssey IOL is designed to provide a full range of vision, reducing the need for glasses after cataract surgery. According to clinical studies, 93% of patients who received the lens reported freedom from glasses at all distances. The lens also delivers exceptional contrast sensitivity, improving vision in low-light conditions.

 

Built on Johnson & Johnson’s TECNIS platform, the Odyssey IOL features advanced optics and proprietary materials, ensuring consistent and reliable outcomes for patients. Surgeons have praised its higher tolerance to residual refractive errors, making it a preferred choice for those seeking spectacle independence.

 

Johnson & Johnson’s Company Group Chairman, Vision, Peter Menziuso, highlighted that TECNIS Odyssey addresses a significant unmet need for cataract patients looking for greater visual clarity and independence.

 

With an estimated 94 million people aged 50 and above suffering from moderate-to-severe distance vision impairment, Johnson & Johnson aims to expand access to advanced presbyopia-correcting IOLs globally.
