Lens Choice with Cataract Surgery

YOUR VISION IS OUR FOCUS

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses used to replace the natural lens of the eye in cataract surgery. Since the IOL is made of a pliable material, it can be folded and inserted through a narrow incision into the eye. An IOL not only serves to replace a cloudy lens (cataract) and restore vision, it can also often improve vision better than before the cataract developed, to a point where corrective lenses—glasses or contact lenses—are not needed at all or as often.  

We use the most advanced technology, including Verion and ORA to precisely measure the eye before surgery to determine the optimal lens power needed to reduce, and often eliminate dependence upon glasses after cataract surgery.  

"Your eyes, your vision, your lifestyle...make the most of everyday with clear vision. See what you have been missing."

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY LENSES

Newer lenses have improved upon traditional lenses with the ability to correct vision at more than one distance. While traditional lenses can reduce or eliminate a patient’s dependence on glasses or contact lenses, they are able to correct vision at only one distance. This means that patients will still need glasses or contacts for close-up tasks like reading, and for intermediate tasks like viewing a computer screen or car speedometer. Multifocal lenses, on the other hand, can allow patients to see clearly at more than once distance to further reduce dependence on glasses.

The surgery is customized to your eye so you can achieve the best possible vision in the distance by correcting even moderate to severe astigmatism. . The lens comes in a wide variety of powers to effectively eliminate astigmatism. The Toric lens provides excellent distance vision without the need for prescription glasses.
