See every distance clearly
Our mission is to restore a full range of natural vision for every person affected by cataract, myopia, hyperopia or presbyopia. We do so through continuous innovation in accommodating intraocular lens technology.
Behind this goal are more than 25 dedicated professionals. Working every day from our locations in the Netherlands and Germany.

Lumina CE certified
Track record built on science
AkkoLens has reached every major milestone through meticulous research, clinical validation and an unwavering focus on quality.
A lens that automatically adjusts to the distance you are looking at.
Your vision.
Your muscle.
Your lens.
The Lumina responds to you. Driven by your own ciliary muscle, adjusting continuously and dynamically. Excellent distance and intermediate vision, good near vision, contrast sensitivity at monofocal levels. Clear. Sharp. Natural. Most patients see continued improvement up to a year after implantation. That ‘s not a promise. That’s how the eye works.

FAQ’s
Find clear answers to common questions about the Lumina lens, how it works and how it compares with other lens options.
How does the Lumina compare to a trifocal (multifocal) lens?
Trifocal lenses have three fixed focal points including one dedicated to near vision which guarantees sharp close-up sight. There is a trade-off : some patients experience halos, glare and reduced contrast sensitivity, which can be particularly disruptive at night. The Lumina does not carry these side effects. Near vision with the Lumina depends on the activity of the eye muscle: a well-conditioned muscle produces excellent near vision. In most cases, the result is sufficient for reading without glasses.
What makes the Lumina different from a standard monofocal lens?
A monofocal lens corrects vision at a single distance, typically distance vision. The Lumina offers equivalent quality for distance vision, with similarly high contrast sensitivity and virtually no halos or glare. Thanks to its accommodating mechanism, the Lumina also delivers excellent intermediate vision and, depending on the condition of your eye muscle, often good near vision as well. In most cases, patients can realistically expect a life without glasses.
What is the difference between the Lumina and an EDOF lens?
An EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) lens extends the range of focus but involves a trade-off: sharper near vision comes at the expense of distance vision and vice versa. The Lumina does not have this limitation: it offers an uncompromised range from near to far. The Lumina also performs better in terms of contrast sensitivity and produces fewer halos and glare effects.
