Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

A cataract is a clouding of the eye lens which prevents light from properly focusing on the retina. During cataract surgery, an ultrasound is used to break up the cataract, which is then removed and replaced with a lens implant.

You have choices with respect to the lens implant. Your decision should be based on your day to day vision requirements, financial ability and, of course, consultation with Dr. Wiens.

These premium lenses are designed to make you less dependent on glasses. They offer the possibility of seeing well at more than one distance, be it near, mid-range and distance.

  • Toric foldable lens. The Toric lens can provide the best possible distance vision for activities such as golf, driving, or watching TV. Toric lenses can safely reduce or eliminate astigmatism and reduce or eliminate the need for distance glasses. Reading glasses would still be required.
  • Multifocal foldable lens. Designed to provide the best possible vision without glasses for all distances, near (reading), mid-range (computer), far (tv, driving, etc). People that choose this lens are trying to minimize as much as possible the need for glasses after cataract surgery.
  • Multifocal-Toric foldable lens. A combination of the Toric and Multifocal, this lens is designed to reduce astigmatism and provide the best possible vision without glasses for all distances.
