Intraocular lens implant choices in cataract surgery at North Shore Eye care

A cataract is a clouding of the natural crystalline lens of the eye that happens with age.  When a cataract becomes significant enough, we consider cataract surgery at North shore eye care in smithtown new york in long island.  After a cataract is removed, our board certified cataract surgeons have several choices in intraocular lens implants or IOLs used to restore your vision.

In patients that desire far and near vision without glasses, we use the accommodating lens, crystalens.  North Shore eye care is a national crystalens center of excellence due to our success with this implant.   The implant moves slightly in the eye when focusing for near and allows a patient to increase their range of vision.  We also use multifocal implants like the restor, rezoom, and tecnis multifocal.  These lenses have multiple rings of focus and also expand the range of clear vision.  We are experts at the toric implant which reduces or eliminates astigmatism.  For those patients that would rather wear glasses, the standard distance lens works wonderfully.  The eye doctors at our long island eye care practice have had excellent experience with the advanced technology implants.
