What Is the TECNIS PureSee Lens?

TECNIS PureSee is Johnson & Johnson Vision's purely refractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens, FDA approved in March 2026 — one of the newest premium lenses available. Where most presbyopia-correcting lenses use a diffractive optic that splits light into focal points, PureSee uses a smooth, continuous refractive surface to stretch the range of clear vision. The result is extended depth of focus without the light-splitting that can cause halos and glare.

Its standout quality is optical cleanliness. In clinical trials PureSee achieved contrast sensitivity equivalent to a monofocal lens, and it became the first and only EDOF IOL approved without a contrast-sensitivity warning, with the large majority of patients reporting no bothersome visual disturbances. For patients who want more than a monofocal but prize crisp, natural night vision, PureSee is a compelling option.

Why Patients Choose PureSee

Extended range that looks and feels like a monofocal at night.

  • Purely refractive optic — no light-splitting, minimal halos and glare
  • Monofocal-equivalent contrast; the only EDOF with no contrast warning
  • Excellent distance and intermediate vision with functional near
  • Outstanding choice for night driving and detailed visual tasks
  • PureSee Toric II corrects astigmatism in the same procedure

Is TECNIS PureSee Right for You?

Who tends to do best with this lens — and when another option may fit better.

PureSee may be a great fit if you:

  • Drive at night and want the cleanest possible optics

  • Are comfortable using readers occasionally for the finest print

TECNIS PureSee: Your Questions, Answered

TECNIS PureSee is a purely refractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens from Johnson & Johnson Vision, FDA approved in March 2026. Rather than splitting light like a diffractive lens, it uses a smooth refractive surface to extend the depth of focus, delivering clear distance and intermediate vision with functional near — and contrast sensitivity equivalent to a monofocal lens.
PureSee is the first and only EDOF intraocular lens FDA approved without a contrast-sensitivity warning. In clinical trials it achieved monofocal-equivalent contrast, and the large majority of patients reported no bothersome visual disturbances. This makes it an excellent choice for patients who want extended range with the cleanest possible night vision.
Both PureSee and Vivity are non-diffractive extended depth of focus lenses designed for excellent distance and intermediate vision with minimal glare. PureSee is a purely refractive design from Johnson & Johnson that is FDA approved with no contrast-sensitivity warning, while Vivity is Alcon's non-diffractive EDOF built on Clareon material. Your surgeon can help you decide which fits your eyes best.
PureSee provides excellent distance and intermediate (computer and dashboard) vision plus functional near, but most patients still use reading glasses for the smallest print. If maximum reading independence is your top priority, a trifocal or full-range lens may suit you better.
Yes. PureSee Toric II corrects corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery, so patients with astigmatism can still enjoy the clean, extended-range vision the lens provides.
