Older individuals often develop a clouding of the lens of the eyes. This condition is called cataracts. A surgical procedure to remove that clouded lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens is done to restore clear vision.
Today, cataract patients can choose multifocal intraocular lenses that provide good vision at all distances. At Reeve-Woods Eye Center in Chico, CA, we offer multifocal intraocular lenses for better vision after cataract surgery.
After cataract surgery, the eye surgeon will implant an artificial lens into the eye to replace the clouded natural lens. For simple vision problems, a monofocal lens is used. If you have more complex vision problems involving multiple distances, you may want a multifocal intraocular lens that corrects vision, so you do not have to use eyeglasses or contact lenses. Multifocal lenses can fill either bifocal or trifocal uses. The eye surgeon will discuss the options for intraocular lenses with you prior to your eye surgery.
Multifocal intraocular lenses can be a good option for individuals who need corrective lenses to see clearly. They allow you to enjoy better vision, along with the freedom from glasses or constant contact lens maintenance. However, multifocal lenses do not correct all vision problems. Our ophthalmologist can determine the right type of intraocular lens for your vision needs.
The ophthalmologists at Reeve-Woods Eye Center ensure their patients in Chico, CA and surrounding areas receive the highest quality care for vision and eye care. We offer a range of services, including cataract surgery, glaucoma care, LASIK vision correction, eye exams and emergency eye treatment.
