Cataract surgery does more than remove a cloudy natural lens. During surgery, the cloudy lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), and the lens you choose can have a major impact on how you see after surgery
At Summit Eye Care in Winston-Salem, we offer several cataract lens options designed for different vision goals - from a traditional monofocal lens to advanced options that can reduce dependence on glasses, correct astigmatism, extend the range of vision, or allow your vision to be customized after surgery.
There is no single “best” cataract lens for everyone. The right IOL depends on your eye health, prescription, astigmatism, lifestyle, visual priorities, and how much you want to reduce your dependence on glasses.
During your cataract evaluation, our team will discuss your options and help you choose the lens technology that makes the most sense for your eyes and your everyday life.
Summit Eye Care offers several lens options, including:
Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) - a customizable lens that can be adjusted after cataract surgery
Extended Range of Vision - designed to provide a broader range of useful vision than a traditional monofocal lens
Astigmatism-Correcting Lens (Toric IOL) - designed to correct corneal astigmatism
Basic Monofocal Lens - a traditional cataract lens designed primarily for clear vision at one distance
Your surgeon will determine which options are appropriate for your eyes after a comprehensive examination and pre-operative measurements.
Choosing a cataract lens is an important decision, but you don't have to make it alone.
At Summit Eye Care, we take the time to understand how you use your vision and explain your cataract surgery options in straightforward terms.
Whether you are considering a traditional monofocal lens, an astigmatism-correcting IOL, an extended-range lens, or the customizable Light Adjustable Lens, our goal is to help you make an informed decision about your vision.
