Intraocular lenses - Denver Cataract Specialists
It’s no secret that our eyes change as we age, and some problems — like the inability to read small print and cataracts — are unavoidable. But now, thanks to recent advances in implantable intraocular lenses, we can turn back the time on aging eyes.
Bye-bye bifocals
If you’re of the baby-boomer generation, you’re probably passing through the prime years for presbyopia — or “aging eyes.” It’s a condition that usually strikes after age 40 and makes it hard to see both near for reading and far for driving.
We are Denver LASIK specialists who are adept at performing a wide array of vision corrections surgeries such as those designed to treat glaucoma and cataracts. While LASIK eye surgery improves vision, it’s not considered the best treatment for presbyopia. Instead, multifocal implantable intraocular lenses are a great alternative. These lenses replace the eye’s natural lens, helping you see both near and far. They provide relief for presbyopia and correct nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Cloudy eyes stay clear of glasses too
Each year 2.4 million people undergo cataract surgery to remove aging, cloudy eye lenses. Traditional cataract surgery replaces the cloudy lens with a single-focus intraocular lens, which only improves your distance vision. This means, following traditional cataract surgery, you might still need to wear reading glasses or bifocals to view things up close.
The good news is the new multi-focal intraocular lenses can give you more than one focus. They not only treat cataracts but also restore your ability to see up close and at a distance. In fact, many people who have worn glasses or contacts for most of their lives can undergo cataract surgery and become totally free of glasses! We boast some of the most experienced Denver cataract surgeons in the region.
Remember, your eyesight doesn’t have to fade away with the years. To improve your vision, a surgeon can select from the number of different intraocular lens technologies available on the market today. Each uses a slightly different optical design. Call 303.279.6600 for a free evaluation and consultation to determine which type of intraocular lens is right for you.
