Booth 207 in Hall B
As an independent manufacturer of medical devices, we are pleased to present our comprehensive cataract program at the 36th Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS).
At our booth we will inform you about innovative ophthalmological products such as intraocular lenses or microsurgical single-use instruments. This year we will focus on the presentation of the AddOn sulcus lens, which is considered a milestone in functional patient care. With the innovative artificial lens, you can help your patients live independent of glasses or correct astigmatism after cataract surgery. In addition, residual vision errors can be reliably corrected with the additional lens. This enables you to achieve the most individual combination of visual functions for your patients, which is necessary for refraction precision.
The AddOn is implanted into the sulcus in addition to the Basis lens in the capsular bag. It is compatible with all common capsular bag IOLs, regardless of their design or material. Implantation is similar to cataract surgery. Due to our patented sulcus design and a standardized process, this is considered to be a safe procedure.
AddOn - The Original
It’s the special sulcus design developed and patented by 1stQ that guarantees safety and full functionality of the lens in the sulcus.
Would you like to learn more about the properties and handling of the innovative IOLs? Then take a look at our booth 207 in hall B. Our team will be happy to answer all your questions about the AddOn. We also invite you to take a seat in our comfortable lounge area with an art gallery and enjoy a cup of coffee or a soft drink.

1stQ AddOn Symposium
A 1stQ program highlight is the AddOn Symposium, which takes place in the Palais Wertheim on September 23rd, 2018. Four internationally renowned speakers provide practical or even provocative information about the AddOn lens and share their experience with our more than 100 guests.
Prof. Dr. Sauder (Stuttgart) will talk about his long-term experience with the AddOn, Prof. Dr. Dr. Scharioth (Recklinghausen) will present a new application of the AddOn for highly myopic patients (binocular trifocality); Dr. Knecht (Oldenburg) and Dr. Bautista (Madrid) will report on their different procedures with the presbyopia-correcting AddOn progressive.
