The P.U.R.E. System<br />
Precision UnResolved-materials Extraction<br />
P.U.R.E. is a unique molecular cleaning method developed by <strong>Aaren</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> to remove materials and<br />
extraneous processing materials found in hydrophilic lenses that are not fully polymerized. <strong>Aaren</strong> lenses<br />
that go through the P.U.R.E. System have enduring optical clarity and enhanced biocompatibility. ALL<br />
<strong>Aaren</strong> hydrophilic acrylic lenses are being treated with this proprietary system. Purity is verified by routine<br />
use <strong>of</strong> high sensitivity mass spectrometry (MS) chemical analysis.<br />
Over 1,000,000 P.U.R.E. lenses sold.<br />

Benefits <strong>of</strong> Heparin Surface Modification<br />
• Reduces postoperative inflammatory responses in the early postoperative period.**<br />
• Results in reduced foreign-body reactions as measured by specular microscopy and slit-lamp<br />
examination, especially in the early postoperative period.**<br />
• Appears to be a valuable tool to decrease implant-associated bacterial endophthalmitis.**<br />
• HSM posterior IOLs result in less cellular response observed one year after extra-capsular<br />
cataract extraction.**<br />
• Patients who are diabetic or have glaucoma can definitely benefit from an HSM acrylic IOL<br />
compared to a non-HSM PMMA IOL, according to a multi-center study.**<br />

Introducing and Aspheric Lenses...<br />
Traditional spherical IOLs are subject to aberrations that result in slightly distorted images on the retina -<br />
particularly at large pupil diameter. This is because light rays that enter the eye peripherally undergo stronger<br />
refraction than those that enter centrally. One <strong>of</strong> the benefits <strong>of</strong> <strong>Aaren</strong> PAL aspheric lenses is improved<br />
contrast sensitivity, especially in low<br />

The optics <strong>of</strong> <strong>Aaren</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong>’s<br />
Precision Aspheric Lenses (PAL)<br />
are designed to compensate for<br />
the aberrations <strong>of</strong> the human eye<br />
to achieve exceptional optical<br />
performance - even in instances <strong>of</strong><br />
naturally occurred IOL misalignment.<br />

the MTF <strong>of</strong> PAL is comparable to or<br />
better than that <strong>of</strong> a spherical optic<br />
