Your IOL Choices

At EyeCare 20/20 Retina & Vision Center, we offer several types of IOLs, and your doctor will help you select the right one for you. Options include:

Monofocal IOLs were the first type of intraocular lenses, and they only offer vision correction at one distance. Typically, patients choose monofocal lenses for close vision, and they continue to rely on glasses or contacts for distance vision. This option is almost always covered by insurance.

Multifocal lenses are premium options that provide vision correction at near, intermediate, and far distances meaning they function more like the natural lens. Many patients who receive multifocal lenses find that they rely less on glasses or contacts than they did before their surgery, and some patients no longer need corrective lenses at all. At EyeCare 20/20 Retina & Vision Center, we proudly offer top quality AcrySof® IQ PanOptix™ multifocal lenses and AcrySof™ IQ Vivity™.

Toric IOLs are an excellent choice for patients with astigmatism. This condition occurs when patients have irregularly shaped corneas, leading to blurred vision at all distances. Acrysof® Toric IOLs can correct both astigmatism and cataracts in a single treatment.

Light Adjustable Lens is the first and only lens that you can truly design/customize your vision after cataract surgery. We will customize your final vision after using the innovative technology of the Light Adjustable Lens.  This means you will be able to test drive the lens and see the world, and we can adjust your vision after surgery based on what you see.  As humans, we are wired to desire control of our lives.  The LAL offers patients a unique level of control by postponing decisions about final vision until after surgery.  The lens is designed to allow you to preview a variety of visual outcomes so you can pick the exact vision you want after surgery.  The unique structure of the lens allows us to do this safely and predictably in order to help you achieve your best possible vision. This is the only lens on the market that is 100% customizable after it is implanted – you as the patient are in the driver’s seat and get to pick the outcome according to your lifestyle, wants, and needs. This lens gives you the ability to “Test Drive” their vision and define what is missing then it can be adjusted with UV light. NO rings in the lens means NO GLARE OR HALO AT NIGHT or drop in contrast. As you might ask since the technology is innovative, exciting and new.. does it work?  This exciting lens is FDA approved and has already been used successfully by thousands of patients around the world.
