What are the two basic types of lens implants?
The standard lens implants are single-focus lenses with the
focal point typically set for mid-distance, with glasses being
required for intermediate or near vision. The eye adapts quickly
to this lens implant as this type of lens provides good image
quality, although just at the single focal point (mid-distance).
With the astigmatism treated or managed and a single-focus
lens implanted, the distance vision should be good without
glasses, but glasses will certainly be required for any computer
use or reading. This lens is like the fixed lens found in
disposable cameras - it does not have the ability to change
focal points.
The premium lens implants allow a much wider range of vision
like a premium Nikon camera lens. This wide range of focal
points encompasses, distance, intermediate, and near zones.
With the premium lens implant, you will see well at a variety of
distances without glasses, though it may take some time as the
brain and eye adapt to the new vision. The premium lens
implants offer the widest range of vision possible, and due to
this benefit, they account for 80% of the lenses that I implant
at the Maloney Vision Institute.
