Intraocular Lenses (IOL)

Now there are advanced new technology intraocular lenses in the surgery for cataracts. Grochmal Eye Center specializes in new technology intraocular lenses (IOL) surgery. Traditional cataract surgery using a mono-focal IOL solves the problem of restoring clear vision by replacing the cloudy lens; being mono-focal, it can correct for distance vision or near vision as decided by the surgeon and patient prior to surgery. This type of IOL usually requires some type of glasses to be used after “cataract surgery”.

With new technology intraocular lenses (IOL) surgery, the lens implanted not only clears up the cloudiness and blurriness from the cataracts, but also corrects for other vision issues. Grochmal Eye Center specializes in the two types of new technology intraocular lenses (IOL): multifocal, and toric. The multifocal IOL allows you to see distance, intermediate and up close, and reduces your dependence on glasses. The toric IOL corrects for astigmatism (a refractive condition that blurs one’s vision if not corrected), and thus makes one’s vision clearer at distance without glasses.
