Premium intraocular lens (IOL) surgery is an advanced option for patients undergoing cataract surgery or seeking vision correction beyond standard lenses. Unlike traditional monofocal IOLs, which only correct distance vision, premium IOLs can also improve near and intermediate vision, reduce astigmatism, and minimize the need for glasses.
During cataract surgery, the eye’s natural cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. With premium IOLs, patients can choose from advanced designs such as multifocal, trifocal, toric, or extended depth-of-focus lenses. These lenses provide sharper vision across different distances and allow greater independence from glasses after surgery.
You may be a candidate if you:
A comprehensive eye exam and advanced imaging help determine the best IOL for your lifestyle and visual needs.
Your consultation includes detailed testing such as corneal topography, biometry, and ocular health evaluation. Our specialists will explain the available lens options, review your visual goals, and recommend the best premium IOL to match your lifestyle.
Preparation is the same as for cataract surgery. Patients should stop wearing contact lenses as advised, follow preoperative instructions regarding eye drops, and avoid eye makeup on the day of surgery. Your doctor will provide personalized guidance to ensure a smooth experience.
The procedure is performed during cataract surgery. After numbing eye drops, the surgeon makes a small incision, removes the natural lens, and implants the selected premium IOL. The incision is self-sealing and requires no stitches. The surgery takes less than 30 minutes per eye and is performed on an outpatient basis.
Key benefits include:
Most patients notice clearer vision within 24–48 hours, with continued improvement over several weeks. Mild sensitivity or halos may occur initially but typically improve. Prescribed eye drops and follow-up visits help ensure proper healing and stable results.
Follow-up visits are scheduled the day after surgery, one week later, and at one month. These visits confirm the IOL’s position, monitor healing, and adjust treatment as necessary. Adhering to the follow-up schedule is essential to achieving the best outcome.
