If you’re considering cataract surgery, one of the most important decisions you’ll have to make concerns your new lens implant. This implant will shape how you see the world for years to come, so let’s take a moment to explore your options together.
Cataract surgery is one of the most common and successful procedures in the country with close to four million performed each year! During the procedure, your surgeon will remove your eye’s clouded natural lens and replace it with an artificial one, allowing you to see clearly again.
A “standard” lens implant is typically covered by insurance and is an excellent option for most people. However, there are more technologically advanced options on the market, which can help you to reduce or even remove your reliance on glasses.
Even if you don’t have cataracts, you might be interested in refractive lens exchange. This procedure offers the same advanced lens options to help reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Your ideal lens implant will depend on several factors, including your lifestyle, visual needs, and eye health. At Brooks Eye Associates, we offer all these advanced options and can help you choose the one that best fits your life.
We’d be happy to discuss these options with you in detail during a consultation at Brooks Eye Associates.
