Our Most Popular Procedures
Cataract Surgery
When the natural lens becomes cloudy with the passage of time, this is called cataract.
During cataract surgery, the natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear plastic lens.
A monofocal lens is best able to focus light on the retina from one distance.
This dependance on reading glasses may be reduced by opting for a multifocal lens implant at the time of initial surgery.
Presbyopia Correction & RLE
Presbyopia is a reduced ability of the eye’s natural lens to focus at near. This occurs naturally with increasing age and is mostly noticed as we enter our mid-40s.
This dependance on reading glasses may be treated by replacing the natural lens with a multifocal lens implant. This is called Refractive Lens Exchange (or RLE).
Piggyback Lens Implants
A Piggyback Lens Implant can be implanted after previous cataract or RLE surgery but where the patient still requires glasses for seeing in the distance, for reading, or both. Piggyback lenses can reduce this dependance on glasses.
