Get Your Best Vision by Far (and Near)!

In recent years there has been an explosion in lens implant technology which allows the doctor to select a lens customized to each individual’s lifestyle, hobbies, and visual demands so that excellent vision without glasses is achievable for all visual tasks; distance, intermediate, and near. Dr. Shanbom is one of the premier eye surgeons in the state to offer these specialty lenses and he has found that these technological improvements have resulted in better vision and a better overall lifestyle for his patients.

Multi-focal implants, which correct vision at both distance and near, as well as toric implants, which correct for astigmatism, are great premium implant lens options for suitable candidates. They offer the convenience of being able to do everyday tasks, like reading, participating in sports, watching TV and using a computer – without reaching for a pair of glasses.

At Shanbom Eye Specialist, once it has been determined that you need cataract surgery, we ask that you consider your visual needs and how you feel about glasses. For example, how much reading or computer work do you do? What are your hobbies or leisure activities and does wearing glasses interfere with them? Premium IOLs are ideal for those with active lifestyles who are annoyed by glasses. They allow you to turn a potentially negative condition, cataracts, into an opportunity to expand your vision and allow you freedom from glasses that you may have been dependent on your whole life.

Though premium implant lenses are a terrific choice for some, they are not for everyone. Dr. Shanbom evaluates each patient’s lifestyle, personality, and expectations individually and advises them that, since they are only going to have cataract surgery once in their lifetime, they should be sure to consider all options.

If you have questions or concerns regarding your options for freedom from glasses, contact call us at Shanbom Eye Specialist and see the difference.
