Your Treatment Options
Lens replacement surgery focuses on improving visual clarity and reducing the need for glasses. The choice of lens determines how you see at different distances.
Options include:
Monofocal lenses
Set for one distance, often for driving or general use. Glasses may still be needed for reading.
Enhanced monofocal lenses
Provide improved intermediate vision, supporting tasks such as screen use and day-to-day activity.
Multifocal lenses
Designed to support both near and distance vision, reducing reliance on glasses.
Toric lenses
Correct astigmatism and improve sharpness of vision.
The right option depends on how you use your eyes each day. This is discussed during consultation to match your expectations with the outcome.
Alternative treatments may also be considered depending on age and eye condition.
