Still wearing glasses after cataract or lens replacement surgery? You may have received an older-generation intraocular lens (IOL) that corrected your distance vision, but left you dependent on reading glasses or struggling in dim light. If so, a secondary procedure may be beneficial to you.
At Will Vision and Laser Centers, we believe your vision should keep pace with your life, and with advancements in vision correction technology. If you’re living with a standard monofocal IOL and desire more freedom from glasses, enhanced clarity, and seamless vision at all distances, it may be time to upgrade your lens.
Address Blurry Vision After Cataract Surgery
Older lens implant technology, combined with outdated, less-accurate, preoperative biometric measurement devices, is more prone to residual refractive error after cataract surgery. As a result of these errors, it is possible that your surgeon implanted a lens with a power that still requires you to use glasses, even for distance vision.
Is your vision after cataract surgery less than optimal? Perhaps the implant power is correct, but the lens’s visual quality interferes with your vision needs and active lifestyle. Older implant technology is frequently more prone to unwanted visual side effects than today’s advanced implant technology.
Why Upgrade Your Existing IOL
Older IOLs were designed to correct only one focal point, often leaving patients dependent on glasses for tasks such as reading or computer use. Today’s premium intraocular lenses offer a true lifestyle transformation, delivering clear, dynamic, and personalized vision.
Benefits of a Modern Lens Upgrade
- Reduced or eliminated the need for glasses
- Crisp vision at near, intermediate, and far distances
- Improved night vision and reduced glare and halos
- Customized clarity with the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)
- Better vision for work, leisure, and everyday activities
Our Advanced Lens Options
Premium Multifocal & Extended Depth-of-Focus (EDOF) Lenses
Designed to deliver a full range of vision, these lenses provide sharp distance, intermediate, and near focus, allowing most patients to function glasses-free.
Light Adjustable Lens (RxSight®)
The most precise IOL available today. After surgery, we use UV light to non-invasively fine-tune your vision, offering unmatched personalization and clarity.
Candidates for a Lens Upgrade
You may qualify for an IOL exchange if you:
- Had cataract or refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery more than a year ago
- Currently wear reading or progressive glasses
- Experience glare, poor night vision, or dissatisfaction with your current IOL
- Are in good general and ocular health
Our team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess the safety and effectiveness of an upgrade tailored to your specific needs.
