cataract surgery results improve with latest intraocular lenses

Quality of vision following cataract surgery has never been better thanks in large part to the new intraocular lenses that are now available.  In recent years intraocular lenses were all spherically designed, but with the advent of aspheric lenses vision in poor lighting conditions is now significantly better. This aspheric design has been so successful that it is now incorporated in all lens designs such as toric lenses, accommodative lenses and multifocal lenses.  Toric lenses are recommended for those people who demand excellent distance vision without using glasses.  Multifocal lenses offer excellent near and distance vision without glasses, but some people need an adjustment period in order to get used to some side affects that can occur with these lenses, usually in poor lighting conditions.  The Crystalens by Bausch and Lomb is the only accommodative lens available on the market.  It offers both distance vision and near vision without correction, thus freeing patients from glasses most if not all of the time.

Since there are many choices to be made when considering cataract surgery it is important that you pick your Opthalmic surgeon carefully.  At North Shore Eye Care we have 35 years experience placing intraocular lenses in patients eyes.  In addition to being named a Bausch and Lomb Center of excellence we have also been consistently recognized in Castle Connelly's top doctors in the New York Metropolitan area.  All doctors are board certified Ophthalmologists.
