The procedure marks a milestone in the continued U.S. adoption of one of the most established trifocal platforms in global cataract surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FINEVISION HP received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in October 2025. First introduced internationally more than 15 years ago, the platform has been used in millions of implantations worldwide and contributes to the ongoing evolution of refractive cataract surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPatient expectations surrounding cataract surgery continue to evolve, particularly as more individuals seek greater visual functionality across multiple distances following surgery,\u201d said Florence Anne Sophie Cabot, M.D., assistant professor of clinical ophthalmology at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. \u201cThe continued availability of presbyopia-correcting technologies provides surgeons with additional considerations when tailoring surgical approaches to individual patient needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FINEVISION HP incorporates BVI\u2019s proprietary POD platform and CoPODize diffractive optical design technology. The lens was designed to distribute light across distance, intermediate and near focal points while maintaining the optical principles established in the original FINEVISION platform. The platform also features a double C-loop haptic design intended to support lens stability within the capsular bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are honored to collaborate with Bascom Palmer Eye Institute as it expands access to presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens technologies for patients in the region&#8221; said Andrew Chang, Chief Commercial Officer of BVI. &#8220;As FINEVISION HP launch continues in the U.S., we look forward to supporting surgeons and institutions in evaluating technologies designed to provide a broader range of vision following cataract surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bascom Palmer Eye Institute is internationally recognized for its clinical, educational and research programs in ophthalmology and continues to participate in the advancement of surgical approaches and technologies across multiple ophthalmic subspecialties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About BVI<\/strong> <strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BVI\u00ae is a leading innovator in eye health, with a long-standing legacy of shaping ophthalmic care through advanced technology.
