Home Cataracts Lens Options for Cataract Surgery

What is an Intraocular Lens?

An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens that is implanted into the eye during cataract surgery. The intraocular lens acts as a replacement for the eye’s natural lens (or cloudy lens) which is removed during the surgery. At ICON, we are proud to offer the latest innovations in cataract eye surgery and advanced IOLs. The team at ICON Eyecare will help you understand your lens options and choose the best intraocular lenses for your lifestyle during your consultation.

    • Premium Lifestyle Lens Package (PLP): Multi-focal lenses allow for an extended range of vision. This package is designed to reduce your dependence on glasses for distance, intermediate and near vision.
      • This package includes the PanOptix Trifocal lens, the first and only FDA-approved trifocal IOL available in the United States.
    • Astigmatism or Monovision Package: This package offers a way to correct distance vision for those patients who want to reduce their dependence on glasses for distance by correcting astigmatism with a limbal relaxing incision or a toric IOL.
    • Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery: This option is for patients who want to take advantage of the newest femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery. There will be corneal relaxing incisions to reduce astigmatism.
    • Standard Lens Package: This package includes a standard lens that does not correct astigmatism, intermediate or near distances.
    • Light Adjustable Lens (LAL): This is the first and only FDA approved IOL that can be adjusted after surgery. It allows us to collaborate with you to achieve the optimized results and truly design your own visual outcomes. It offers a way to correct distance vision for patients wanting to reduce their dependence on glasses for distance.

Which Lens is Right for Me?

The best lens depends on your needs. All artificial intraocular lenses will correct vision for cataract patients, but your lifestyle and eyesight improvement needs will help determine the best fit.

If you’re comfortable wearing glasses after cataract surgery, monofocal lenses may be the right choice. If you want to avoid wearing distance glasses after cataract surgery and have astigmatism, a toric lens might be appropriate. A multifocal lens may be best if you don’t want to wear distance and reading glasses after cataract surgery.

Is the Cataract Surgery Different Based on the Lens I Choose?

The surgical procedure is the same regardless of lens type. Your surgeon will perform either traditional or laser cataract surgery to restore clear vision.
