Johnson & Johnson Vision Gets FDA, European OKs for Phacoemulsification Device

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) Vision has received both 510(k) clearance and CE mark certification for its Veritas Vision System, a device for improving cataract surgeries.

The phacoemulsification system, an ultrasonic device to emulsify and remove portions of the eye’s internal lens when it has been clouded with cataracts, provides surgeons with greater stability and control during the procedure.

J&J plans a full commercial launch of the Veritas Vision System globally later this year.
