Premium Intraocular Lenses

What are Premium Intraocular Lenses?

Premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses that can replace natural lenses during cataract surgery. They can allow you to see far away or near with less need for glasses or contact lenses and can correct astigmatism. The right lens for you depends on your vision issues and eye health concerns.

Types of Intraocular Lenses We Offer at Eye Consultants

Monofocal

The most common type of intraocular lens is the monofocal lens. As the name suggests, this lens allows you to see either at a distance or close up, not both. Patients with monofocal lenses often need to still wear glasses for certain activities.

That said, at Eye Consultants, we can use monovision, a technique where we use a monofocal lens to correct for distance in one eye (usually your dominant eye) and another monofocal lens to correct for near vision in the other eye. When looking at an object, your brain will merge the images from both eyes to create a clearer picture at both distances.

Toric

For people with astigmatism, the toric IOL is typically used to correct the uneven curve in the cornea. These lenses can come as monofocal or multifocal.

Multifocal

Multifocal IOLs provide focus at both near and far distances. Patients with multifocal IOLs may not need to wear glasses after surgery.

Extended Depth-Of-Focus

Extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOLs are used to sharpen near and far vision. Instead of using multiple focal points, as the multifocal lens does, this lens elongates the focal point, allowing for a better and clearer range of vision.

The service is wonderful, from the receptionists, to the MAs, to the doctors.

This is an excellent facility. I have glaucoma and have been treated by Dr. Dealy for over four years. Mine is not an easy case and Dr. Dealy has been so knowledgeable and thorough in answering all questions. She has always spent the time necessary to put me at ease. The front office staff are kind, welcoming, and genuine.

I have loved going to this office since I moved to Delaware. They know me personally and their customer service, knowledge and professionalism surpasses all the eye doctors I’ve been too in the past!
