Lens Implants
If you are having cataract surgery, you will be discussing the replacement lens options with our eye surgeons. In the past, a monofocal lens was primarily chosen by the ophthalmologist, but now lens options have progressed to allow you a choice to best fit your lifestyle.
The monofocal lens provides excellent vision after cataract surgery, but is only for one set distance, generally for seeing at a distance. Eyeglasses would be needed for up close and intermediate vision. Today, we are able to offer a multi-focal lens option to our patients. This choice of lens corrects vision up close, at intermediate and distance, and for most patients, potentially eliminates the need for eyeglasses.
These options will be discussed in detail with you at your evaluation. Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions you have, we'll take whatever time is necessary for you to make the best decision for your individual needs.

You've been told you have a cataract, now what?
There is no need to be overly concerned if you, or someone you know, has a cataract. It is a natural part of the aging process and nearly everyone develops one (or two).
It is the clouding of the crystalline lens of the eye, making it difficult to see. You may find that things don't seem as bright or are having difficulty doing tasks you previously found easy.
Today, cataract surgery is performed by our surgeons on an out-patient basis in the comfortable and close-to-home Cataract & Laser Center in Gardner. The procedure is accomplished by our surgeon making a small incision in your eye to remove the cloudy lens (cataract) and replacing with a permanent, artificial lens. The entire procedure takes minutes and afterward you'll rest for a bit and then return home. Generally, we will see you the following day for a post-operative visit and most folks return to the routine activities within a few days after the procedure.
Next week we'll cover some of the lens options available to you.
