It’s an exciting time when it’s time to have your cataracts removed. It means that you can get crisp, clear vision back again.
But are you aware of the one choice you have before cataract surgery that determines the quality of your vision after? Before your procedure, you have to work with your eye doctor to select an intraocular lens or IOL.
This choice significantly impacts your lifestyle after cataract surgery. One of the best IOLs you can choose is the PanOptix trifocal IOL. It can give you a glasses-free life.
The eye doctors at Orange County Ophthalmology regularly suggest the PanOptix trifocal IOL. It can give you a freer life after cataract surgery!
Cataracts develop as proteins in your eyes, lenses break down and clump together. This clumping causes them to turn white, which eventually blocks light.
Once enough light gets blocked and interferes with your everyday life, it’s time for cataract surgery. Cataract surgery removes and replaces the milky lens with an intraocular lens or IOL.
The IOL gets placed in the membrane that your natural lens occupied and handles its responsibilities. IOLs focus light entering your eye onto your retina, which sends it to your brain.
The IOL you choose for cataract surgery determines your range of focused vision. The PanOptix trifocal IOL can give you a wide range of vision with very little or no need for glasses.
The PanOptix trifocal IOL is the first FDA-approved trifocal IOL. A trifocal IOL is a type of premium multifocal IOL. Most multifocal IOLs are bifocals, meaning they have two refractive zones, near and far.
They correct or focus light entering your eye from those two distances. These two focal points give you clear vision over long distances and near your face.
But, bifocal IOLs create a gap in your vision between the two zones. Even though light gets focused at far and near distances, intermediate vision gets blurred.
The PanOptix trifocal IOL addresses this common multifocal issue. It has a third focal point between the distant focal point and the near one.
This third focal point eliminates the gap between near and far distances. It gives you seamless sight as you transition between near, far, and between.
The PanOptix trifocal IOL also eliminates other common multifocal visual disturbances. It eradicates halos around lights and glare in bright conditions.
You can correct astigmatism during cataract surgery, but it depends on the type of IOL you select. Toric model IOLs correct astigmatism, and the PanOptix trifocal IOL has a toric model.
When you discuss your IOL with your eye doctor, mention that you want to correct your astigmatism. Then you can talk about the PanOptix trifocal IOL and its benefits.
The enhanced vision of the toric PanOptix trifocal can end your astigmatism and give you the best eyesight of your life.
The PanOptix trifocal gives you a massive range of vision with minimal disturbances. It is perfect for someone who leads an active lifestyle and prefers not to use glasses.
The PanOptix trifocal IOL gives you crisp distance and intermediate vision, and functional near-sight. You may need glasses when reading fine print like a food or prescription label. However, the large majority of patients have little to no need for glasses with the PanOptix Trifocal IOL.
If you want to end your need for glasses while driving, playing golf, or attending a stadium event, the PanOptix trifocal could be perfect. If you value freedom from glasses, consider the PanOptix trifocal IOL.
To discuss this exciting IOL, schedule an appointment at Orange County Ophthalmology in Garden Grove, CA. The PanOptix trifocal IOL could give you the best eyesight you’ve ever had!
