Afinity Collamer IOL
Model CQ2015
The Afinity 3-piece Collamer IOL combines foldable IOL technology with traditional design. The optic material of model CQ2015 is Collamer. The cataract IOL has modified “C” loop polyimide haptics and no angulation. These loops offer flexibility comparable to polypropylene and PMMA haptics, with greater tensile strength, and superior “shape memory.” The lens edge of model CQ2015 has a square posterior edge and rounded anterior edge.

Afinity Single Piece Collamer IOL
Afinity Collamer IOL
Created for the treatment of cataracts through surgical correction, the Afinity line of IOLs from STAAR Surgical Company are comprised of the unique, biocompatible Collamer material.
The Collamer Advantage
Exclusive to STAAR Surgical Company, Collamer is a unique lens material that is composed of collagen, a UV-absorbing chromophore, and a poly-HEMA based copolymer .1 The Afinity Collamer IOL produces excellent optical performance and achieves significant biocompatibility.
Exceptional Quality of Vision
• Collamer lenses provide exceptional quality of vision. 2, 3
• Compared to other lens materials (including acrylic and PMMA), Collamer has less internal reflectance, reducing or eliminating the occurrence of glare and halos. 4
• Collamer induces fewer higher order aberrations than other lens materials. 2
Collamer IOL
• Index of refraction: 1.44
• No visible glare, halos or ghosting
Silicone IOL
• Index of refraction: 1.41
• No visible glare, halos or ghosting
Acrylic IOL
• Index of refraction: 1.55
• Visible glare, halos and ghosting
Significant Biocompatibility
• Collamer possesses inherent biocompatibility. 4
• The lens material attracts fibronectin. A monolayer around the Collamer IOL shields it from the body's immune system. 4, 5
• The collagen in Collamer produces a slight negative ionic charge, repelling protein attachment on the lens surface.4
Acrylic Lens : (Magnified 1,000 times) After one-minute of exposure to protein mixture, note the dense existing protein deposition.
Collamer Lens : (Magnified 1,000 times) After one minute of exposure to the same protein mixture, note the near absence of protein on the Collamer IOL.
Acrylic IOL vs. Collamer IOL
Excellent for Patients with Specific Health Issues
• Collamer lenses do not encounter the same problems that other lens materials do in patients with specific health conditions including diabetes, chronic uveitis, iritis, and other inflammatory conditions of the anterior chamber. 6
• Collamer is appropriate for patients precluded from other lens use due to specific health conditions impacting the eye. 6
• The unique properties of Collamer do not induce long term "flare," decreases inflammation, and prevents cellular attraction. 6, 7
Patient Satisfaction
• Collamer lenses deliver superior outcomes and satisfaction among a wide range of cataract surgery patients. 1, 6
Model CC4204BF
Model CC4204BF of the Afinity Collamer IOL is a single piece lens placed completely in the capsular bag. The lens has large fenestrations to enhance postoperative fixation. The light patterns associated with the Collamer lens are nearly identical to those of the human crystalline lens.
