Eye Surgery Technology

Standard IOL’s – The basic Government Issue IOL. You will often need to wear glasses with this type of IOL

Aspheric IOL’s – This type of IOL has aspheric optics, which improves vision quality

Astigmatism correcting IOL’s – These IOL’s correct astigmatism, where the eye is steeper in 1 direction than the other (much like a football cut in half). An eye without astigmatism has the same curvature in all directions (like a basketball cut in half).

Presbyopic correcting IOL’s – These IOL’s improve both distance and near vision without glasses and are most effective at decreasing or eliminating the use of glasses or contact lenses after surgery.

Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) – The Light Adjustable Lens is the only IOL that can be customized after cataract surgery. Once the eye has healed, a series of light treatments are used to fine-tune your vision — allowing for a highly personalized result. This advanced lens is ideal for patients who want the ability to “test drive” their vision and make adjustments before locking in their final prescription.
