LifeStyle Lens Options

The advances in intraocular lens (IOL) technology have made it possible to dramatically increase a patient’s ability to see after cataract surgery. Previously, lens implants were only traditional, meaning that the lenses could only allow people to see at one distance, either near, intermediate, or far. With traditional lens implants cataract patients required glasses after surgery. Now, with premium lens implants like, Crystalens®, tecnis® IOL, and Acrysof® ReSTOR cataract patients are able to greatly reduce or even eliminate their dependence on glasses!

How do Multifocal IOL’s Work?

Our eyes are always adjusting and constantly focusing on objects up close, far away, and in between. The ability for our eyes to change focus from far away to up close is called accommodation. As we get older this ability decreases, and we become dependent on bifocals or reading glasses, this is called presbyopia. LifeStyle lens implants are designed to provide quality vision at a range of distances by combining the strengths of different technologies.

It is important to select the right lifestyle lens implant to meet your specific vision needs. One of our experienced Texas Eye and Laser Center surgeons will discuss the premium lens options available.
