Home Cataracts Achieving Your Vision Goals

Planning on cataract surgery?

Perhaps you’ve heard about different lens options for cataract surgery and are wondering what the difference is between the different kinds. Premium intraocular lenses offer a great option for cataract surgery. Because cataract surgery can only be carried out once on an eye, it’s important to choose the right lens for you and your lifestyle.

What is an Intraocular Lens?

An intraocular lens(IOL) is an artificial lens that is implanted into the eye during cataract surgery. The intraocular lens acts as a replacement for the eye’s natural lens (or cloudy lens) which is removed during the surgery.

At ICON Eyecare, we specialize in advanced cataract treatments and the latest lens technology. During your consultation, our team will walk you through the different IOL options so you can choose the one that best fits your lifestyle and vision needs.
