Most folks know that cataracts are a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. What many people don’t know is the surgery to replace that cloudy lens is a quick and relatively easy procedure to have done. D’Ambrosio Eye Care eye surgeons perform cataract surgery with Intraocular Lens Implants (IOL) at The Cataract & Laser Center in Gardner, MA. During the cataract evaluation appointment, your cataract surgeon will discuss the options in lens implants to you. Implant choices are available to help you become independent of your eyeglasses if that is your lifestyle goal.
In recent years, the availability of near vision, presbyopia-correcting lens implants has been a popular option. These implants may provide a full range of vision, from near to distance and in-between allowing the patient to be able to read a book and drive, free of eyeglasses. The decision for which option is best for you is made together with your cataract surgeon.
