Product and Safety Information
The Medennium Phakic Refractive Lenses (MPL) are designed for intraocular implantation to correct refractive errors in patients aged 18 and older. They are made from silicone elastomer, with flexible haptics for easy insertion, and are self-centering within the eye’s posterior chamber. The MPL is indicated for myopia, hyperopia, and refraction correction, but there are several contraindications, including ocular trauma, weak zonula, chronic systemic diseases, and shallow anterior chamber depth. Precautions must be taken during handling and storage, and the lens should not be resterilized or exposed to high temperatures. Potential complications include infection, glaucoma, and corneal damage, and the long-term effects are not fully established, requiring regular monitoring. Adverse reactions such as lens decentration and inflammation are possible. Each lens is supplied sterile with an expiration date and should be used accordingly. Manufactured by Medennium Inc., the MPL comes with a patient registration card for future reference, and adverse events must be reported to the company.
