Z Optics Inc., a medical device company based in Reno, Nevada, announced the six-month clinical results of its Z+ Virtual Aperture intraocular lens (IOL) at the 44th Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) held from September 11 to 15, 2026, in London. Dr. Francisco Sánchez León of Novavision Laser Center in Naucalpan, Mexico, presented a single-center study involving 43 patients (86 eyes) who received the Z+ IOL in both eyes, with 38 eyes implanted with the latest third-generation design. The results showed that all 38 eyes achieved uncorrected distance vision of 20/32 or better, averaging 20/24, and 92 percent achieved uncorrected near vision of 20/32 or better, averaging 20/26. Even in low light conditions (mesopic), the mean uncorrected acuity was only slightly reduced at 20/25 for distance and 20/28 for near vision.
