IOL

Last Chance to Save on Premium Lens Surgery

If you’re planning cataract surgery, there’s never been a better time to explore your options for premium intraocular lenses (IOLs). These advanced lenses—particularly multifocal and toric IOLs—offer greater visual freedom after surgery, helping many patients reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses.

But with projected increases in the cost of these lenses due to global manufacturing pressures, now is the time to secure your rate and avoid potential price hikes.

Understanding Premium IOLs

During cataract surgery, the lens of the eye, which has become cloudy, is removed and replaced with an artificial one, called an intraocular lens (IOL).

While standard IOLs restore basic vision, premium lens options—like multifocal and toric lenses—are designed to do more.

  • Multifocal IOLs allow you to see clearly at multiple distances, reducing your dependence on reading glasses or bifocals.
  • Toric IOLs correct astigmatism as well as cataracts, offering sharper, more stable vision for those with this common refractive error.

These lenses are popular for patients who want to improve their quality of life after cataract surgery. However, premium IOLs are typically not fully covered by insurance because they’re considered an elective upgrade.

Why Lens Prices May Be Increasing

Due to changes in global manufacturing costs and international trade tariffs, the production and distribution of advanced medical devices, including premium IOLs, are becoming more expensive. While base cataract surgery may still be covered by Medicare or private insurance, the out-of-pocket cost for multifocal and toric lenses could soon rise.

For patients, the impact is straightforward: delaying surgery could mean paying more for the same lens in the future.

How to Lock in Today’s Rates

DLV Vision is encouraging patients to schedule consultations now to lock in the current cost of premium lenses.
