With new advances in lens implant technology patients can now reduce or eliminate their need for bifocals or reading glasses. This is a great improvement and offers patients a new found visual freedom. Things like picking up the newspaper to read the daily news no longer means searching for reading glasses or looking through a bifocal lens, that can be smeared or scratched, then refocusing through a different lens to look across the room at the television. Patients have been commenting that after receiving the multifocal or “bifocal” lens implant their family and friends comment that they look younger. For many active seniors this is a welcome benefit.

We spend time taking care of our health and maintaining our independance as we age and this lens implant certainly provides a more youthful vision and a more youthful appearance for many patients. Many seniors have not slowed down, have worked hard and feel they deserve the best that technology has to offer. The idea of being able to play golf, garden, play cards, read to their grandchildren and travel without dependance on glasses to see distance and near is very appealing to many cataract patients. With interest free payment plans it has become an affordable value to cataract surgery patients who want the very best in advanced cataract care. These patients realize this is a one time decision, a permanent choice to have a revolutionary procedure that restores vision to a more youthful vision and offers a more youthful appearance. This is something we have noticed in our practice for years as we see smiling cataract surgery patients who have chosen this “bifocal” lens implant. Not only do they look younger without their bifocals or readers, they also look happy and tell us they are thrilled with their results.  It is truly a joy to see these happy patients!
