What is the difference between premium cataract surgery and standard cataract surgery?
The most significant single difference between the two types of cataract surgery is the type of lens that we place in the eye after we’ve removed your cataract.
Standard cataract surgery explained
With standard cataract surgery, we replace the natural lens of the eye with a standard IOL (Intraocular lens). This artificial lens provides the best, sharpest vision for a single point, whether for distance or near vision.
Premium cataract surgery explained
With premium cataract surgery, we can insert premium intraocular lenses to enhance your range of vision. The premium lens or “intraocular lenses” (IOLs) can include multifocal IOLs. These give you a range from near, intermediate and distance vision.
This increases freedom and reduces your need for glasses or contact lenses for certain activities.
Cataract surgery can also treat astigmatism
An added benefit of cataract removals is that it can also correct astigmatism1https://journals.lww.com/co-ophthalmology/Abstract/2009/01000/Correction_of_astigmatism_at_the_time_of_cataract.5.aspx. This can reduce vision problems such as blurred vision and also headaches often associated with this condition.
Cataract eye surgery will give you the opportunity to experience better overall visual quality and live a fuller quality of life.
