The Benefits of PanOptix® Intraocular Lens Implants for Cataract Surgery

Cataracts affect most people in their later years, affecting vision and enjoyment of life. The gradual clouding of the eye’s natural lens causes frequent vision changes, muted colors, halos, double vision and light sensitivity. While cataracts are a normal part of aging, cataract surgery is necessary to restore a clear visual field. Thanks to technological advancements, cataract surgery that capitalizes on premium intraocular lens implants (IOLs) can correct vision problems caused by refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia.

Currently, cataract surgery ranks as one of the most performed procedures in the United States. Its popularity can be attributed to the surgery’s safety, simplicity and effectiveness at restoring sight. The award-winning team at Laser Eye Center is proud of our commitment to provide the best care possible to our cataract patients. Here, our doctors explain some of the ways cataract surgery has improved in recent decades.
