Which lens will you put in my eye?
The lens that I will implant in your eye depends on your visual
needs and preferences, and whether you elect to have a
premium lens. All lenses that I use are fully FDA (Food and
Drug Administration) approved, are of the highest quality, and
are from top-name ophthalmic manufacturers. I only use highend
implants with the best optics - the same ones that I have
implanted in my own family members and friends.
The traditional single-focus lenses that I prefer are referred to
as aspheric lenses since they address the sharp focusing of the
eye as well as the spherical aberration in order to provide a
better quality image, similar to a high-end Nikon camera lens.
Studies have even shown better driving performance in people
who receive these ashperic lenses. If you don't mind wearing
glasses for any intermediate or near work, then this may be a
reasonable choice lens for you.
The premium lenses allow a much greater freedom from
glasses, with patients achieving a far larger range of vision. For
premium lenses to work their best, it takes time for the eye,
brain, and visual system to adapt - often a few weeks or more.
Remember that you've been looking through human lenses for
many decades, and now with a brief surgery you are looking
through a man-made lens. While you will see rather well right
after the surgery, optimal vision and adaptation takes time. If
your concern is good vision and you'd like to reduce or
eliminate your need for glasses for distance, intermediate, and
near, then a premium lens is the best choice for you.
