While the main purpose of cataract surgery is to remove the cloudy lens obscuring one’s vision, technology enables patients undergoing cataract surgery to have many options to improve their vision better than it may have been in the past or to reduce the need for glasses.
Below are available options.
Intraocular lens (IOL): types and how they work.
Single Vison Lens (IOL) – This remains the most common choice for patients, typically this lens is chosen to achieve best distance vision, reading glasses would be needed for near.
Multifocal Lens (IOL) – Freedom of vision at all distances. Imagine driving with more confidence, or golfing without losing sight of the ball. From reading to playing tennis to playing bridge, you can experience clear vision at near, intermediate and far distances with the help of multifocal lenses.
