These specialized lenses are designed to replace the cloudy natural lens and correct refractive errors Patients can achieve clear vision at various distances without relying on corrective eyewear Whether reading a book, enjoying outdoor activities, or driving, patients often experience an enhanced visual experience, free from the hassle of glasses or contact lenses.
