Choosing an IOL lens for presbyopia after cataract treatment in our Laguna Hills CA facility

The purpose of undergoing cataract surgery is to improve your vision. Cataracts are the clouding of the natural lens of the eye, and although they do not pose a threat to vision in terms of permanent blindness, they can certainly get in the way of your wellbeing. A cataract clouds a lens, mudding up your vision over time. People with cataracts may find sunlight and other forms of light uncomfortable, and may notice a glare around headlights, making it challenging to drive at night.

When cataracts get to a point where they are impacting how you live, they should be removed. The doctors at the Orange County Eye Institute has completed thousands of cataract surgeries with great success. A part of this beneficial procedure is to address future vision through the implantation of an intraocular lens.

In the last several years, advances in technology have led to the development, and subsequent FDA approval, of IOLs for the correction of presbyopia. The intention of these corrective lenses is to facilitate clear vision at all distances without the use of eyeglasses. It is an exciting possibility to remove cataracts and experience better vision! We work with our patients to achieve the best possible results by carefully choosing the right IOL lens for use after cataract surgery in our Laguna Hills CA facility.

There are multiple types of IOLs to choose from today. Those that are suitable for correcting presbyopia include the accommodating and multifocal types. These are more advanced for certain corrections than the standard mono-vision IOL. This conventional type improves vision at only one distance at a time. Therefore, you may see up close with great clarity, but require eyeglasses with a distance prescription, or vice versa.

Research data points to experience as a vital factor in successful cataract surgery and subsequent vision correction with the appropriate IOL. Dr. Salib has completed thousands of cases of vision correction, and maintains a reputable standing among his patients as well as his peers.

The Orange County Eye Institute is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and vision corrective techniques to help you restore your vision after cataract surgery. Contact us in Laguna Hills to see how we can help you.
