Understanding Lifestyle Lenses
Lifestyle lenses, also known as accommodating intraocular lenses, or IOLs, work to replace the eye’s natural lens, clearing cataracts. Typical IOLs work to correct vision at a single distance, while lifestyle lenses work to allow the eye to focus from multiple distances. In many cases, lifestyle lenses can eliminate the need for glasses or contacts while also clearing cataracts.
What Are the Different Types of Lifestyle Lenses?
There are several different types of lifestyle lenses, including multifocal lenses, accommodating lenses, and extended depth of focus lenses. Your eye doctor will work with you to determine which type of lifestyle lens would be the best fit for your needs.
What Are the Benefits and Risks of Lifestyle Lens Implants?
After undergoing a lifestyle lens implant procedure, you’ll find that the cloudy vision you experienced due to cataracts is gone, and your need for glasses or contacts will likely be gone as well. While lifestyle lenses are generally safe, it’s important to note that there are some risks, including glare and the need for additional procedures.
