The human eye has two lenses that work together to focus light onto the
retina. The outer focusing lens is called the cornea. The inner focusing
lens is called the crystalline lens. Light rays pass first through the
cornea and then through the crystalline lens.
The cornea and crystalline lens focus incoming light by bending all the
light rays to meet at a single point on the retina. From the retina, these
light rays are sent as electrical pulses to the brain where our mind “sees”
a picture of what’s in front of us.
Vision changes with age
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.
New advances in Intraocular Lens (IOL) design now allow people to achieve
distance and near vision with little, if any, need for glasses. Although
these lenses are not appropriate for everyone, many patients are able to
benefit from this technology. Ophthalmology Associates is pleased to offer
mulitple lens options allowing our patients
improved uncorrected vision at a variety of distances:
- ReSTOR
- Crystalens
- Acrysof Toric
- TECNIS Multifocal Lens
Which Lens Implant Is Best For You?
Lens implants are meant to last a lifetime. Fortunately, most people will be
very happy with whatever lens implant choice they make. The Crystalens,
TECNIS, and ReSTOR lenses have all been rigorously tested by the US FDA
before being approved for use. For most people, any of these lens options will
provide excellent results. To arrange a consultation with one of our doctors
to discuss specific recommendations for you, please contact us at 817-332-2020.
