Modern Cataract Lens Technology Although cataracts are the #1 cause of blindness in the world, patients in the U.S. expect the best technology and have great access to modern cataract surgery, to be as glasses-free as possible.
The short outpatient procedure extracts the cloudy natural lens (cataract), replacing it with a new clear lens. Patients now have choices of custom lenses and need to be thoroughly informed about them by their ophthalmologist.
The latest lenses include multifocal lenses that allow a person to see well at near and far distance, without the aid of glasses. Two proven multifocal lenses on the market include the ReZoom and ReSTOR. Additionally, many patients benefit most from the TORIC lenses, which although not a multifocal, precisely counteract astigmatism.
The doctors at Bishop Eye Associates have extensive experience with these lenses, being the first in the region to offer them and the only doctors to offer all three. Call (843) 689-3937 (EYES).
