Thanks to today’s technology breakthroughs, there are
more kinds of intraocular lenses to choose from than
ever
before.

Multifocal Intraocular Implantable Lenses (IOLs) |
These new, improved intraocular lenses allow patients the
opportunity to achieve total freedom from glasses.
Unlike traditional monofocal lenses, the revolutionary
multifocal lens creates multiple focal points along the
retina to dramatically improve vision. Using advanced
technologies that enhance the implant's ability to bend
light so that an image is focused precisely along various
points on the retina, multifocal lenses provide sharp, clear
vision, near, mid-range and far. In the clinical study, 8
out of 10 patients receiving multifocal lenses reported they
did not need to wear glasses or bifocals.

Traditional Monofocal Intraocular Implantable Lenses
(IOLs) |
Lens implant surgery for cataracts is the most commonly
performed surgery in the US and has been performed
successfully for more than two decades. The lenses implanted
during this procedure do a great job of facilitating sight
at a fixed distance. However, most patients find they still
need reading glasses or bifocals for clear vision at all
ranges, which is why so many opt for the newer, more
advanced multifocal lenses.

TORIC Intraocular Implantable Lenses (for Patients
with Astigmatism) |
Advanced technology TORIC lenses have a biconvex optic
shaped to provide both spherical and astigmatic correction
for patients with corneal astigmatism. Benefits are similar
to regular IOLs.

Blue Light-Filtering Multifocal Intraocular
Implantable Lenses (IOLs) |
Today, both multifocal and standard IOLs are available with
blue light-filtering chromophore technology. This unique
feature filters out potentially harmful blue light (UV) in a
manner approximating your own natural crystalline lens. The
advanced lens is beneficial because it protects the delicate inner
nerve fiber layers at the back of the eye without
interfering with color vision or visual acuity.
