Clear Lens Exchange

If you have been told you are too old to have LASIK but too young to have cataract surgery this may be the option for you.

Understanding how vision changes with age.

Many things are changing as time passes. Vision is one of them. The aging process affects the clarity and quality of vision, which may impact your ability to read or drive at night. Two primary causes of vision loss with age are cataracts and presbyopia.

Presbyopia Presbyopia – the loss of near, reading vision – is a condition that affects almost everyone over the age of 50. Presbyopia occurs when the natural lens of the eye becomes harder and less flexible. This reduces the eye’s ability to switch from seeing objects at a distance (for driving) to seeing objects that are near (for reading).

The opportunity to reduce your dependency on glasses in everyday life.
The opportunity to reduce your dependency on glasses in everyday life. With new technology lens implants, treating presbyopia has moved beyond simply wearing bifocals. Today you can have lenses implanted that can provide the vision to do everyday things without being dependent on glasses. Whether it�s reading a package label or working on a computer, driving at night or golfing, today most people who receive the new technology also have the option to choose a lens that can enable them to be free of glasses while performing the activities that are most important to them.

Would you like to be able to read without glasses?

The ReZoom lens not only treats cataracts, but it also turns back the clock to bring back much of your ability to see up close and at a distance. For many people who have worn glasses or contacts most of their lives, the ReZoom Multifocal lens can mean independence for the first time. After surgery with traditional single vision monofocal lenses, most people experience very good vision at a single focal point -- either near or at a distance. In most cases, the monofocal lens provides good distance vision for driving, walking and some everyday activities. However, most people receiving single vision monofocal lenses require reading glasses or bifocals to have a full range of vision.
	The ReZoom Multifocal Lens has a patented new design called Balanced View Optics™ Technology. This lens design creates multiple focal points so you can see well at a variety of distances, be it near, mid-distance, or far. In fact, in clinical studies, 92% of those who received the ReZoom Multifocal lens reported wearing glasses either "never" or "occasionally."

With today’s new technology lens implants many people can read, work on a computer and drive without depending on glasses after cataract treatment. In one study, 92% of people with the ReZoom Multifocal lens, a new technology lens, said that they could perform most of their daily activities without glasses.

Matching the right lens implant to your specific lifestyle and eye health needs

Each new technolgy lens implant performs differently. The first step in selecting the right lens implant to improve your overall vision is an understanding of your lifestyle. You will be asked a few simple questions about the things you do such as:

How much reading do you do?
What kind of driving do you do each day?
what are your hobbies?
Do you want to be less dependent on glasses or contact lenses?

After review of a few simple questions and a discussion about your lifestyle, our doctor will recommend a lens implant that will positively impact your vision when you do the things that are most important to you - in many cases without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Understanding your eye health

Once your vision needs are addressed the other important factor in selecting the right lens implant is your eye health. Your doctor will perform a series of tests to understand the health and performance of each eye.

Once your doctor understands your lifestyle and your eye health needs, he or she will make a lens implant recommendation.
