Cataract or lens replacement surgery involves replacing your current lens with a new intraocular lens, called an IOL. While there are many IOL options, our specialists will help you choose the lens that will accommodate your unique lifestyle and vision needs. Whether you are a sports enthusiast or a crossword puzzle fan, your favorite activities and occupation play a huge part in your IOL decision.

Start by asking yourself these questions:

Number One: How important is it to reduce my dependency on glasses? If you constantly misplace or break your glasses, or would strongly prefer to not wear them, then you may want to consider an IOL that will reduce your dependency on glasses.

Number Two: For which activity would I be most willing to wear glasses? Maybe you love to golf and want to see far down the range. So, you wouldn’t mind having to wear glasses for activities that require you to have perfect clarity up-close.

Number Three: What is my most important daily activity? Think about what kind of vision would help you participate in the activity more fully. If you often drive at night, you may want to choose an IOL that will reduce glare or halos around lights. Or perhaps you are an avid reader: an IOL that will enable you to read small text may be the best option for you.

The IOL you choose can make all the difference in how you experience your favorite or most frequent activities. Talk with us today, and we will help guide you to the IOL that fits your daily life.
