During traditional cataract surgery, your eye's natural lens will be replaced with a synthetic monofocal intraocular lens (IOL).
The surgery will bring a patients vision back to where it was prior to the onset of cataracts, however, if prior to cataracts he or she had a prescription for glasses or contact lenses, those visual aids will still be required for both distance and reading vision.
Many patients are satisfied with this lens, as it restores their vision to a functional point.
Some patients seek to restore their vision to complete capacity with one surgical procedure, thus leaving glasses or contact lenses behind for life.
Recent advancements in visual technology have produced 'premium lenses,' which can be customized to work with your individual needs.
Often referred to as 'lifestyle lenses,' this advanced technology affords patients many advantages over the traditional monofocal lens.
Even patients suffering from astigmatism can potentially eliminate dependency on glasses, reading glasses and contact lenses.
Imagine having no need for readers to see menus, computer screens and labels!
At Williamson Eye Center, we work with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan to suit even the busiest lifestyle.
It is our commitment to deliver the best results to leave you free of the hassle of glasses and contact lenses for life!

At Williamson Eye Center, we take great care in the selection of lifestyle lenses we provide to our patients.
For a multifocal IOL, we utilize the Acrysof Restor.
This lens works much like a pair of bifocal glasses, allowing patients to see clearly at all distances.
This lens incorporates a range of viewing areas, returning your vision to its broadest range.
Many patients who choose the Acrysof Restor, are never dependent on glasses again!
Allowing a patient seamless focusing ability at all distances, the Crystalens HD IOL mimics the eye's natural ability to accommodate for focusing on objects at varied distances.
In the same way muscle movements accommodate viewing, the technology of the Crystalens can move between up close and far away and can be a great solution for patients who require improvement for reading and up-close vision.
For patients suffering from astigmatism, a Toric IOL lens was created to neutralize the imbalance of corneal asymmetry.
Previously, patients with astigmatism in addition to cataracts, still had to use glasses or contact lenses to reduce the effects of astigmatism.
With a Toric IOL implant rather than a traditional monofocal lens, any the imbalance created by astigmatism is reduced and even eliminated, allowing for crystal clear distance vision.
Have you noticed that as you age, you are beginning to struggle with your vision?
Even if you have not yet developed cataracts, you may be having trouble with focusing on objects up close such as the newspaper or a computer screen.
Depending upon your particular lifestyle and current prescription, your surgeon may recommend Refractive Lens Exchange.
The natural lens of a patients eye can be easily replaced with one of the lifestyle lenses mentioned above, restoring vision and allowing for a lifetime free of dependency on glasses.
The procedure is similar to cataract surgery and will leave you free of the risk of cataract development.
