FIL SSF

Innovative Scleral Fixation IOL

FIL SSF 

Sutureless scleral fixation: stability when capsular support is not an option.

  • Sutureless scleral fixation
  • Trans-scleral anchoring hooks
  • 4-point stabilization — 13.20 mm total diameter
  • Available in toric version
Overview Info Specifications Specs Contact Contact
This hydrophilic intraocular lens with an aspheric optic is engineered for scleral fixation in challenging scenarios where capsular support is insufficient or absent (e.g., aphakia, capsular rupture, IOL dislocation/decentration). It is intended to provide a dedicated intraocular pathway to restore emmetropia, with a platform designed to deliver reliable mechanical and optical stability.

The lens features sutureless trans-scleral anchoring, developed to promote secure fixation and enhanced stability over time, reducing reliance on suture-based techniques while supporting controlled positioning. The aspheric optic is designed to optimize image quality and support crisp distance vision, depending on the patient’s ocular profile.

The hydrophilic material combines flexibility with controlled intraoperative handling, facilitating surgical management in anatomically complex eyes where precision and stability are critical. A solution focused on trans-scleral stability, refractive performance, and confidence when in-the-bag implantation is not feasible.

Designed for Excellence

Sutureless Scleral Fixation

Revolutionary T-shaped haptics with trans-scleral hooks enable secure scleral fixation without sutures, simplifying the surgical procedure and reducing operative times.

Outstanding Stability

The 13.20 mm total diameter with 4-point support and 10° haptic angulation ensures physiological positioning and minimizes IOL torsion and decentration.

Aphakia Correction

Specifically designed for emmetropia restoration in patients with insufficient or absent capsular support, including traumatic aphakia and IOL subluxation cases.
