Intraocular Lens Options

Recent advances in lens implant technology now permit us to provide artificial lens implants designed to reduce the need for glasses after cataract surgery. These lens implants are designed to provide good distance and near vision allowing most patients to function the majority of the time without glasses after surgery. While advanced lens implant technology allows for more predictable outcomes and less dependence on glasses after surgery, there is no guarantee of independence from spectacles, and it may still be necessary to wear glasses for certain activities after surgery.

Intraocular lenses come in a variety of materials and designs. Your surgeon will discuss your needs with you and help you to choose a lens that is best suited to your individual situation. All intraocular lenses used in our practice are coated with UV filters.

Accommodative and Multifocal Implants for Clear vision at Distance and Near

There are currently three lens implant designs available in this category: Crystalens, ReZOOM™, and ReSTOR™. Your surgeon will discuss your options during your consultation to assure that the lens you choose will optimize your visual outcomes.
