Choices in Intraocular Lens Implants for Cataract Patients
As you get older, the natural lens inside your eye becomes firm and opaque, reducing visual clarity, decreasing contrast details, and causing glare. When the lens begins to reduce vision, it is known as a cataractous lens, or a “cataract,” for short.
During cataract surgery, the lens is dissolved using ultrasound and vacuumed out of the eye. In its place, Dr. Dean places an intraocular lens implant.
When a cataract is removed, it is replaced with an intraocular lens. There are a variety of IOL’s that can be used in cataract surgery. The FDA approval process for IOL’s used in the United States have undergone rigorous testing for safety and effectiveness.
Cataract surgery using a no-stitch technique represents a wonderful opportunity for you to both improve vision AND become less dependent upon glasses.
