REPLACEMENT LENS OPTIONS
Cataract surgery patients have several options for replacement lenses. The most popular choice is the “fixed-focus monofocal lens,” which provides good distance correction although reading glasses will still be needed for up-close work. In some cases, patients may opt to have one eye fitted with a lens that provides near vision while the other eye (usually the dominant eye) gets a lens that provides for far vision. This combination of lenses, called “monovision,” relies on the brain’s ability to sort between the two images so that near tasks can be performed without the need for reading glasses. A newer lens, the “accommodating monofocal lens,” can shift from near to far vision in response to the eyes’ ciliary muscles. A state-of-the-art advancement in small incision cataract surgery now allows us to create a 2.8 mm self-sealing clear corneal incisions. This reduces astigmatism that can occur from suturing an eye. No-Stitch Cataract removal is made possible by creating a self-sealing microscopic tunnel incision into the eye which allows the cataract to be broken down, removed, and replaced by an implant. This restores clear vision. To learn more, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.
