Modern Cataract surgery
Cataract surgery is one of the most common treatments across the globe. As we mentioned, the natural lens is removed and replaced with a special intraocular lens. So, what is a premium IOL? Premium lenses treat cataracts and common vision impairments. After premium IOL cataract surgery, you should be able to see at near and far distances.
Monofocal IOLs
Monofocal lenses correct vision at a single distance. We may choose monofocal IOLs for near, mid-distance, or long-distance focus. Even though monofocal lenses are less expensive than other options, it is possible that you will still need glasses after surgery.
Toric IOLs
This option is recommended for patients with astigmatism. Astigmatism means that the shape of your eye is more irregular than normal. Although Toric IOLs are monofocal, they are convex on both sides to correct this problem and improve vision.
Multifocal IOLs
Multifocal lenses help people focus on near and distance vision at the same time. They enhance your eyesight by providing magnification in different areas of the lens. While they do take time to get used to, our patients can reduce their need for corrective eyewear.
How to choose the right IOL for you?
We can help decide which lens is right for your situation. If you are okay living with glasses, a monofocal IOL could be a good option. But if you are not interested in visual aids, you should consider a premium lens instead. We will perform a cataract examination before making any final recommendations. We will also test your visual acuity and ensure your eyes are healthy enough for surgery. Our custom treatment plans are based on your individual lifestyle and needs.
