Multifocal Lenses

Multifocal IOLs are designed to enhance vision at multiple distances, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses after surgery. These lenses incorporate advanced optics that allow for clear near, intermediate, and distance vision, making them an excellent choice for individuals who lead an active lifestyle and prefer greater visual independence from reading glasses or bifocals.

Toric Lenses

For patients with astigmatism, Toric IOLs provide a specialized solution that corrects both cataracts and irregular corneal curvature. By addressing astigmatism at the time of surgery, these lenses reduce visual distortion and improve overall clarity. Toric lenses offer a customized fit that enhances distance vision and significantly reduces the reliance on prescription eyewear.

Monofocal Lenses

As the most commonly used IOL, Monofocal lenses provide sharp, high-quality vision at a single fixed distance—usually set for distance vision. While patients may still require reading glasses for near and intermediate tasks, these lenses offer excellent clarity and contrast sensitivity, making them a dependable choice for those seeking a straightforward and reliable cataract surgery outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

What eye conditions do you treat?

We specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of eye conditions, including cataracts, presbyopia, astigmatism, nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and other vision impairments. Our advanced laser and lens-based treatments provide customized solutions to improve your eyesight.

What are my options if I want to reduce my dependence on glasses?

We offer several vision correction options, including LASIK, EVO ICL, refractive lens exchange (RLE), and premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) for cataract surgery. During your consultation, we will evaluate your eyes and recommend the best treatment based on your lifestyle and vision goals.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for vision correction surgery?

Candidacy for LASIK, cataract surgery, or other procedures depends on factors such as eye health, corneal thickness, and vision prescription stability. Our comprehensive diagnostic testing will determine if you qualify for surgery and help us customize the best treatment for your needs.

How long is the recovery process after eye surgery?

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure. Most LASIK and EVO ICL patients experience significant vision improvement within 24–48 hours, while cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange typically require a few days to a week for full recovery. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.

Does insurance cover cataract surgery and vision correction procedures?

Most insurance plans cover standard cataract surgery but may not cover premium lens implants or elective procedures like LASIK. We offer financing options and will work with your provider to determine what costs are covered under your specific plan.
