Premium IOLs / Advanced Lens Technology

Monofocal lenses correct vision at a single distance and have been the standard in cataract surgery for decades. They are reliable, well-tolerated, and covered by insurance. Most patients who choose a monofocal lens target distance vision and use reading glasses for near tasks.

Toric lenses are designed specifically to correct astigmatism in addition to the cataract. They are available across multiple categories, including monofocal, enhanced monofocal, and multifocal, so astigmatism correction does not limit your other options. If astigmatism is part of your prescription, your surgeon will discuss whether a toric lens makes sense for you.

Extended depth of focus lenses, often called EDOF lenses, stretch the range of clear vision beyond what a standard monofocal provides. Rather than a single fixed point of focus, they create a continuous range, typically covering distance and intermediate vision well.

Many patients find the visual adjustment period smoother compared to multifocal lenses, with fewer reports of halos and glare, making them a strong option for patients who want expanded vision with a smoother adjustment period.

Multifocal and trifocal lenses are designed to provide clear vision at multiple distinct distances, including near, intermediate, and far. For the right patient, they offer the greatest potential for independence from glasses across all daily activities. They do require some time to adapt, and some patients notice halos or glare around lights initially, particularly at night. Not every eye is the right fit for a multifocal lens, and your surgeon will tell you candidly whether one makes sense for you.

Small aperture lenses use technology to extend depth of focus and can be a strong option for patients whose eye profile makes other premium lenses a less predictable fit.

Accommodating lenses are designed to shift position slightly within the eye in response to the natural focusing effort of the eye muscles. Results can vary by patient, and your surgeon will discuss whether this category is a good fit for you.

The Light Adjustable Lens is unique in that it can be customized after surgery. Once implanted and after the eye has healed, the lens power is fine-tuned using a series of brief UV light treatments performed in the office.

This gives patients the ability to test their vision and make adjustments before the prescription is locked in permanently, which means it can be a great option for patients who want to optimize their outcome.
