How lens replacement surgery or cataract surgery can help you
Over 40 and fed up of glasses or contacts
Lens replacement surgery offers a permanent vision correction solution using premium lens options that can correct near, intermediate, and distance vision – even if you don’t have cataracts.
Over 50 with clouded, blurred or dimmed vision
Traditional cataract surgery replaces your cloudy lens, but glasses may still be needed. At iLase, I offer premium lenses for wider vision so you can potentially ditch the glasses altogether.
