Are You Ready to See Better?

After you’ve consulted with your ophthalmologist about cataract surgery, you will need to make several important decisions about treatment.

 

Having an understanding about the procedure, as well as the types of lens replacement options available, will help you make an informed decision. Depending on any eye conditions you may have, there are different lenses available to address these issues.

Common Vision Conditions

Your Lens Choice Matters

Different IOL technologies offer different visual expectations after surgery. Your eye care professional will talk about your vision at three points: intermediate, distance, and near.

Small Checklist

Take a quick assessment to learn which TECNIS lens options may suit your vision goals.

Monofocal Lenses

Monofocal lenses provide clear vision at one main distance, usually for distance. Reading glasses will likely be needed for intermediate and near vision. Monofocal IOLs are also available in a toric version for astigmatism correction. 

TECNIS Eyhance IOL

TENIS Eyhance Pack Shot

TECNIS Eyhance is a lens that provides distance image quality vision and enhanced image contrast even in low light.4 You may still need glasses to see objects that are close to you like your cell phone.5 

TECNIS Eyhance TORIC II IOL provides the ability to clearly see images at a distance while allowing you to simultaneously address astigmatism at the time of cataract surgery. 

Benefits of TECNIS Eyhance IOL

Distance image quality
