About Cataract Surgery, Delray Beach Location, Lake Worth Location, Laser Cataract Surgery, Our Team, Premium IOLs
June marks Cataract Awareness Month, reminding us how life-changing clear vision can be. While cataract surgery was once a relatively limited procedure performed simply to remove a clouded lens, modern cataract surgery offers more opportunities than ever to choose a replacement lens that can restore sight in a way that fits unique goals. At Palm Beach Eye Center in Lake Worth and Delray Beach, FL, our caring team of cataract surgery specialists helps patients select from a range of IOL options, ensuring you can feel confident in your choice each step of the way. Celebrate Cataract Awareness Month by taking charge of your eye health and better understanding your options for lens replacement.
How do IOLs improve your vision after cataract surgery?
When cataracts cloud your natural lens, surgery removes and replaces it with an intraocular lens, or IOL. Standard monofocal lenses provide clear vision at one distance, which is usually far away. Premium cataract lenses, however, are designed to expand your vision range so you can see well at multiple distances, ultimately reducing or potentially removing the need to wear glasses after cataract surgery.
What makes premium IOLs vs. standard IOLs different?
Premium IOLs are designed to correct vision beyond a single focal point. At Palm Beach Eye Center, our offerings for premium replacement lenses include:
- Multifocal lenses for near, intermediate, and distance vision
- Accommodative lenses that shift focus naturally within the eye
- Extended range lenses that provide continuous focus at almost all distances
- Toric lenses to correct astigmatism along with cataracts
Each lens type for cataract surgery works differently, but the goal is the same to give you clear, comfortable vision tailored to your lifestyle.
How do I choose the right IOL for me?
Choosing an IOL depends on a number of individual factors, including daily activities, vision goals, and eye health. During your initial consultation for cataract surgery in Palm Beach County, you will have ample time to ask questions about IOL choices, and our knowledgeable team will evaluate variables that may impact your decision, such as:
- How often you read or use digital devices
- Your driving habits, especially at night
- Whether you want to minimize glasses use
- Any astigmatism or other vision conditions
- Your overall health and medical history
This important preoperative consultation helps to ensure your IOL selection can fit your unique needs as an individual.
