Premium Lens Implant Services In Vancouver

What is a Premium Lens Implant?

Premium lens implants are intraocular lenses (IOLs) that are used to improve vision after cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange. But unlike traditional IOLs, premium lens implants can correct multiple vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Traditional monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) correct vision at one distance, usually far away. This is the type of IOL typically used in cataract surgery, and is covered by insurance. Besides offering correction of only one distance, monofocal IOLs do not correct presbyopia, so people who receive them will still need reading glasses or bifocals after surgery.

During this procedure, our ophthalmic surgeon will surgically remove your natural eye lenses and replace them with them with premium implants. These implants are designed to last you for a lifetime.

For patients that want more than one distance corrected, there are premium lenses that can offer great vision at a variety of different distances. Instead of providing focus solely at a single distance, multifocal lenses allow for vision correction at a variety of distances, meaning they can correct both near and intermediate vision, as well as distance vision, in one lens. When it comes to reducing or eliminating reliance on glasses, multifocal lenses are the most preferred alternative.

What are the Benefits of Premium Lens Implants?

In comparison to single vision lenses, a premium intraocular lens (IOL) offers a greater number of features.

Reduced Dependence on Glasses or Contact Lenses

If you've been wearing glasses or contact lenses for years, you will appreciate the freedom that premium lens implants can provide. In most cases, patients may no longer need to wear corrective eyewear at all.

Improved Vision at All Distances

Whether you play tennis, read books, work on a computer, or drive a car, good vision is important. And with premium lens implants, you can often enjoy excellent vision at all distances - near, far and in-between.

Reduced Risk of Developing Cataracts

Because your natural lens has been removed, there's no longer a risk of it becoming it cloudy and causing vision problems. However, secondary cataracts can still develop in the membrane around the implant, but this is usually easily treatable with laser surgery.

Increased Independence and Active Lifestyle

Premium implants may help you live a more active lifestyle and engage in activities that you may have avoided owing to vision difficulties or the inconvenience of wearing glasses.

Who is a Good Candidate for Premium Lens Implants?

Most patients who undergo cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange are good candidates for premium lens implants. Your surgeon will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for this type of surgery based on your individual needs and goals.

Different Types of Premium Lens Implants

The different types of premium lenses each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Be sure to discuss all of your options with your eye surgeon to decide which type of premium IOL is right for you.

Traditional Multifocal IOLs

These IOLs have multiple focal points, and can correct vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. Traditional multifocal IOLs have been available for many years, and have a proven track record of safety and effectiveness.

Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLs

This type of multifocal IOL is a newer technology, and may provide better intermediate vision than traditional multifocal IOLs. However, they may not provide as clear of near vision as traditional multifocal IOLs.

Accommodative IOLs

These implants change shape when the eye muscles contract, allowing them to focus on both near and distant objects. This type of IOL is designed to mimic the natural focusing ability of the eye.

What is the Recovery Time After a Premium Lens Implant?

The vast majority of patients recover quickly from premium lens implant surgery and can return to their normal activities within a few days, or even sooner. It is important to avoid strenuous activity or rubbing your eyes for the first week after surgery, and you will need to use eye drops as directed by your surgeon.

Recovery can be different for each individual, so be sure to follow your surgeon's instructions.

If you have any questions or notice any abnormalities (discharge, increased sensitivity to light, or irritation) during your healing process, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
