Near Vision Presbyopia Correcting Lens Implants at D’Ambrosio Eye Care serving greater Boston Massachusetts

Near Vision Presbyopia Correcting Lens Implants provide excellent vision after Cataract Surgery at the full range of distances- far or distance vision, arms length or intermediate vision and up close near vision. Depending on your specific vision requirements, there are different types of presbyopia correcting multifocal lens implants that Dr. D’Ambrosio Jr. may select. These include the Tecnis® Lens Implant, the Crystalens® Lens Implant and the ReSTOR® Lens Implant. Each of these Lens Implants or Intraocular Lenses (IOL) works in a different way to help you achieve your vision correction goals of being able to see at a variety of distances after Cataract Surgery-without being dependent on eyeglasses, bifocals or reading glasses. Dr. D’Ambrosio Jr. and the staff will be able to suggest which one will help you achieve your vision correction goals after Cataract Surgery. Presbyopia correcting multifocal lens implants correct both your distance vision and your presbyopia after cataract surgery. For the vast majority of patients, having a multifocal lens implant means that you will be able to see at distance and up close without being dependent on eyeglasses.

So, patients choosing to have a presbyopia correcting multifocal lens implant will likely find that they can drive, watch television, play golf and keep score, read a menu, play cards or do crafts-without the need for glasses. Patients choosing multifocal lens implants typically experience a greater overall freedom from glasses allowing them to participate in most everyday activities without dependence on, or the hassle of glasses.

As with any surgical procedure, there are always risks as well as benefits. During your visit to our office we will perform a cataract examination and then arrange your cataract surgery scheduling. In addition, we will then spend the time necessary to review the everyday activities that are most important to you-and whether being independent of glasses for those activities is something that you would like to achieve. As you prepare for your visit to D’Ambrosio Eye Care it will be helpful if you begin thinking about what those activities are so that you can discuss them and explore them with the staff.

If you decide to have a near vision presbyopia correcting multifocal lens implant, our staff will make sure to review your questions and fully explain any additional fees related to the multifocal lens implant that you might be responsible for. Medicare and most insurance covers the cost of the cataract surgery, the surgical facility fee for cataract surgery, the surgical fee for cataract surgery-but not the cost of the presbyopia correcting multifocal lens and its implantation. In most cases, Medicare or the insurance provider asks us to bill you for the additional cost of the necessary testing, the multifocal lens itself and its implantation. Our staff will be pleased to review any costs as well arrange easy affordable monthly payments to fit your budget, should you decide that the multifocal lens is the best choice.

Clear Lens Replacement Surgery with Near Vision Presbyopia Correcting Implants

For some patients who suffer from Presbyopia or have prescriptions that might make them unsuitable LASIK candidates, but DO NOT have Cataracts, Clear Lens Replacement Surgery may be an option to help them achieve vision correction so that they can be independent of eyeglasses, reading glasses or bifocals as well as having their distance vision corrected. Clear Lens Replacement Surgery is a procedure where the natural lens is removed from the eye and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) implant-most often a near vision presbyopia correcting lens implant-even if there is no Cataract. It is essentially the same procedure as Cataract Surgery in terms of technique, risk, and recovery. Dr. D’Ambrosio Jr. and the staff may recommend Clear Lens replacement Surgery in instances of extreme farsightedness or nearsightedness, which are beyond the range of LASIK, and more commonly today, as a surgical solution to the need for reading glasses and bifocals for certain  patients by using Technis®, ReSTOR® or Crystalens® Lens Implants.
