Product description
What is IONTORETINA?

IONTORETINA is a patented ophthalmic technology that uses an innovative method of trans-scleral lutein administration through scleral iontophoresis. The system allows controlled penetration of the active substance into the retina and macula, offering a safe and effective alternative to oral lutein administration.

This product is administered only by an ophthalmologist.
The medical device is CE certified and developed by OFFHEALTH S.p.A. (OFFitalia, Florence, Italy).
How does it work?
- Scleral iontophoresis uses a low-intensity electric current (2.5 mA/min) to facilitate the penetration of lutein through the sclera to the level of the retina and the macula, respectively.
- Liposomes loaded with lutein allow for controlled release and increased bioavailability at the retinal level.
- Lutein acts as an antioxidant and phototoxic protector, reducing oxidative stress and damage to photoreceptor cells caused by exposure to blue light.
What does this kit for IONTO RETINA contain:
- Liposomal solution with lutein (standardized concentration)
- K-IONO medical system (generator + ocular applicator + return electrode)
- Hypotonic solution for scleral iontophoresis
- Sterile single-use consumables
Indications / When this procedure is recommended:
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – early and moderate stages
- Retinal oxidative stress
- Support for visual function in patients exposed to intense light (monitors, artificial lights)
- Complement for oral lutein supplementation
How to use:
- It is used locally, an ocular applicator on the ocular surface that is filled with a liposomal lutein solution.
- The K-IONO generator is used at an intensity of 2.5 mA/min, for approximately 4 minutes.
- The procedure is painless, performed in the ophthalmology office and only by the ophthalmologist
- Does not require general anesthesia.
- After treatment, the patient can resume normal activities after a few minutes.
Warnings and precautions
- To be administered only by an ophthalmologist or trained medical personnel.
- Not recommended for patients with active eye infections, corneal lesions, or allergies to components.
- Do not reuse single-use components.
- Store solutions in the refrigerator (2–8 °C).
