1. Implant Alternatives

Implant alternatives for cataract correction      Espanol  

Optical restoration after cataract surgery is accomplished with an Intra Ocular Lens (IOL).  Based on the optical properties of the IOL we may anticipate more or less dependence on glasses/bifocals after the cataract surgery.

2. Single Vision (Monofocal) Implants     (back to top)

Single vision (Monofocal) implants      Espanol  

The simplest optical correction after cataract surgery is with a monofocal IOL. Use of reading or bifocals glasses is anticipated with the use of this type of implant.

3.  Astigmatism/Toric Impants    (back to top)

Astigmatism/Toric implants      Espanol  

Toric implants are designed to correct preexisting optical astigmatism. * (Out of pocket cost required as medicare and insurances considers this a non-covered premium device). Use of reading or bifocals glasses is anticipated with the use of this type of implant.

5.  Monovision Implant Correction      (back to top)

Monovision Implant Correction      Espanol  

Who might be an monovision candidate?

• Someone with a visually significant cataract.
• Someone with corneal scaring but not high astigmatism.
• Someone who does not require a high level of presbyopic correction after their cataract surgery

6.  Accomodative/Crystalens     (back to top)

Accommodative/Crystalens      Espanol  

Crystalens™ features innovative hinges that allow it to move with the eye's muscles and accommodate for presbyopic correction.

7. YAG Laser Capsulotomy     (back to top)

YAG Laser Capsulotomy     Espanol  

The natural lens of the eye serves to focus images. It has a power that affects the prescription we need to focus on images. There are circumstances where the overall correction of your eye cannot be corrected with with laser vision correction. It is possible to remove the clear lens and replace it with an implant in order to bring your correction to a lower range. This surgery can be performed in conjunction with a standard or a premium bifocal implant.
