The Alcon Clareon IOL has been approved here in Feb 1, 2021. I believe Europe has been using this lens since 2017 and I was wondering if anyone has gotten this IOL or have any knowledge of it. The research I have done indicated it is comparable to the Tecnis ZCB00 and AcrySof IQ. It also appears that one of Health Centres out west has already replaced the AcrySof with the Clareon and the Tecnis ZCB00 with the Tecnis Eyhance. I just haven't met anyone that has gotten the Clareon and just wanted input on it.

Thanks for your help.

    I had a Alcon Clareon IOL implanted 4 days ago and so far all is good, although I realise it's still early days. A little painful and sensitive to bright light the day after, both of which I guess are to be expected, but otherwise everything is OK.
