Implantable Contact Lens (IOLs) Monterey Park & Los Angeles CA

The type of intraocular lens (IOL) you choose plays a crucial role in determining the clarity of your vision following cataract surgery. While standard single-focus lenses provide good distance vision, they typically require reading glasses. However, advanced technology multifocal and accommodating lenses offer a wider range of vision correction, enhancing both near and far sight without dependence on glasses.

Standard vs. Advanced Technology IOLs

Patients undergoing cataract surgery can select from different intraocular lenses based on their visual needs.

Standard Single-Focus Monofocal IOLs

A monofocal IOL provides clear distance vision but requires patients to use glasses for near tasks such as reading. While this option is effective, it does not correct astigmatism or presbyopia.

Advanced Technology Multifocal and Accommodating IOLs

For patients seeking a full range of vision correction, advanced IOLs provide enhanced clarity at multiple distances. These include the following:

ReSTOR® Multifocal Lenses (Alcon): Designed to improve near, intermediate, and distance vision using the same technology found in microscopes and telescopes. Patients can perform daily activities with minimal dependence on glasses.
TECNIS® Multifocal (Abbott): A static lens implant that provides simultaneous near, intermediate, and far vision in all lighting conditions. Initially, patients may experience halos around lights at night, which typically diminish over time.
CrystaLens™ (Bausch + Lomb): An “autofocusing” IOL that mimics the eye’s natural focusing ability, providing seamless vision transitions from far to near. This lens enhances depth perception and reduces dependency on glasses for most tasks.

Each of these advanced IOLs offers unique benefits, and Dr. Vu helps patients select the best lens based on their lifestyle and vision requirements.

Who Is a Candidate for Implantable Contact Lenses?

IOLs are ideal for individuals undergoing cataract surgery who want to reduce their reliance on glasses or contact lenses. Candidates include:

Patients with cataracts affecting daily vision.
Individuals seeking improved clarity at all distances.
Those who desire reduced dependency on corrective eyewear.
Patients with presbyopia or astigmatism looking for comprehensive vision correction.

During a consultation at Linda Vision, Dr. Vu evaluates each patient's ocular health and vision goals to recommend the most suitable IOL option.
