The natural crystalline lens within the eye is part of the optical system which bends light to help the eye focus. When this lens is removed, it is replaced with an intraocular lens implant (IOL). This implant has a prescription based on several measurements your surgeon performs prior to surgery. Before the invention of IOL’s, very thick glasses were necessary following cataract surgery.
Monofocal IOL’s are routinely used to replace the natural lens which is removed during cataract surgery. These lenses have a single focal point and help provide vision correction at either near or far distances. Most insurance companies will help cover the cost of a monofocal lens after cataract surgery.
With the latest technological advances, surgeons are able to provide premium lens options to qualifying patients in order to achieve better visual outcomes post operatively. This technology is similar to correction found in bifocal or progressive lenses available in eyeglasses.
Multifocal Lens: This type of lens implant helps your near, intermediate, and distance vision.
Toric Lens: This type of lens implant not only helps with distance vision but also gives addition correction for astigmatism, helping to further reduced your dependence on glasses. Reading glasses will be needed with this type of implant.
