Your Content Goes HereHas your near vision started to feel like it’s best at ‘arm’s length only?’ If you find yourself constantly adjusting by squinting or holding items (books, phone, etc.) further away, you might be dealing with Presbyopia, an age-related condition that makes near vision blurry. Because Dr. Levine and the team at Cliffside Eye Center deeply understand how frustrating close-up visual limitations can be, we’re proud to offer lens implant surgery, an advanced treatment that uses premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) to help you rediscover effortless sight.
Presbyopia Explained – How Lens Implant Surgery Treats It?
Presbyopia is more than a minor inconvenience; it’s a natural biological process that affects virtually everyone as they age. Around 40-45, your eye’s natural lens begins to stiffen and lose its flexibility, making it harder for light to be focused on the retina, resulting in blurry vision for up-close tasks. While traditional solutions like reading glasses offer a workaround by magnifying the image, they fall short because:
- You’ll require multiple pairs of reading glasses.
- You might need to switch pairs often, experiencing visual interruptions.
- Inconvenient to upkeep as Presbyopia progresses.
- They limit your natural visual experience.
Lens implant surgery provides a much more comprehensive and long-term answer by removing your eye’s natural, inflexible lens and replacing it with a modern, intraocular lens that can provide you with a wider range of vision.
Presbyopia-Correcting Intraocular Lens Options Available With Lens Implant Surgery
Dr. Levine at Cliffside Eye Center is skilled in implanting various types of premium IOLs and will work closely with you to determine the best lens implant for your individual needs and lifestyle. Here are some leading presbyopia-correcting IOL options we offer:
- Multifocal Lens Implants feature multiple distinct focusing zones built directly into the lens surface. These zones carefully bend light to provide clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances simultaneously. Your brain adapts to select the sharpest focus for the task at hand, often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses for most daily activities.
- Accommodating IOLs are designed to mimic the eye’s natural focusing ability. Their unique hinge/flexible design allows them to move or slightly change shape within the eye as your muscles contract. This dynamic movement enables you to focus more smoothly on objects at different distances, potentially providing a more natural visual experience.
- Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLs are designed to provide a continuous, elongated focal point rather than distinct zones. This offers excellent vision for intermediate and distance activities, along with improved near vision compared to traditional mono-focal lenses. EDOF IOLs can be a great choice for a balanced range of vision without the visual compromises sometimes associated with multifocal lens implants.
Why Choose Lens Implant Surgery For Presbyopia?
Choosing lens implant surgery at Cliffside Eye Center offers numerous advantages over traditional vision correction methods for presbyopia:
- Comprehensive Vision Restoration. Experience clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances with multifocal lens implants, allowing you to read a book, work on your computer, or watch a movie without the need to switch visual aids.
- Lens Implants are a Permanent Solution. Designed to last a lifetime, they’re a long-term solution that can help make age-related vision changes less frustrating.
- Minimal Downtime. Many patients experience significant vision improvement within a few days and can resume most normal activities within a week.
- Customized Approach. Dr. Levine tailors each treatment plan to your unique visual needs, ensuring you get the vision outcome you desire.
- Non-Painful & Quick Treatment. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs your eyes so that you don’t feel any pain, and is relatively quick, taking around 15-30 minutes per eye.
