Your Kissimmee Eye Doctor explains Premium Lenses

Intraocular lenses (IOLs), or premium lenses, have been used for years by our Kissimmee eye doctor to replace natural lenses for cataract sufferers whose original lenses have become clouded. These days, intraocular lenses can go further: correcting vision problems for those with cataracts, as well as for people whose serious vision correction needs require an alternative to Lasik.

Modern Premium Lenses for Cataract Surgery in Kissimmee

Modern IOLs, or premium lenses, now provide vision correction for a variety of vision problems. That means that when natural lenses are ruined by cataracts, the latest premium lenses not only replace cloudy natural ones, they improve vision as well. In the past, IOLs only replaced the natural lenses, but didn’t improve visual acuity. In other words, cataract patients often still had to wear glasses or at least reading glasses, after successful cataract surgery. Now premium lenses eliminate cataracts and correct other vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness and even astigmatism in Kissimmee.

The Latest Premium Lenses for Refractive Lens Exchange or Non-Cataract Lens Replacement

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is an alternative to Lasik for people with complicated vision problems that are difficult to correct with glasses (requiring complicated prescriptions or trifocal lenses.) Many people (without cataracts) need complex vision correction, strong prescriptions or have multiple vision problems (like severe nearsightedness, along with presbyopia requiring reading glasses plus astigmatism.) Lasik lens reshaping surgery offers a solution for some of these individuals. RLE or lens replacement surgery, in contrast to surgical lens reshaping, provides a new corrective lens in place of your natural lens. When you have multiple or serious prescriptions to correct your vision, premium lenses and lens replacement from your dedicated eye doctor can offer an elegant solution.
