Graystone Eye
Advanced Lens Implants
Traditional, single vision lens implants have been used in cataract procedures for many years, but they are limited in the range of vision that they can provide. Most patients who receive single vision implants usually need eyeglasses after their procedures. Because they can only provide a limited range of vision, mid and near-range vision are lost.
These lens implants, called advanced lenses, are designed to restore your natural vision, usually without eyeglasses. As with traditional cataract surgery, Medicare will pay 80% of the surgery and the monofocal lens. You are allowed to pay for the upgrade to the new technology lenses.
The goal of the advanced lens surgey is to allow you to read the newspaper, your prescription bottles, and your mail again. After your procedure, you should see far, near, and everything in-between without eyeglasses.
