What are premium intraocular lenses?
Premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) are sophisticated artificial lenses designed to replace the eye's natural lens, which can become clouded due to cataracts, during cataract surgery. Beyond correcting the vision loss associated with cataracts, IOLs also address various refractive errors, offering an opportunity to lessen reliance on glasses or contact lenses after the procedure. If you have myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (age-related vision loss), or astigmatism (an irregularly shaped cornea) and are considering your cataract surgery options, discussing premium IOLs with our team at Erdey Searcy Eye Group could provide significant benefits. Contact our office in Columbus, OH, to discover more about these advanced treatment options.

Premium Intraocular Lenses FAQ
How do premium intraocular lenses differ from standard lenses?
Premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) are designed to not only replace the clouded natural lens due to cataracts but also correct various refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. Unlike standard IOLs, which typically only address vision at one distance, premium IOLs can provide a broader range of vision correction, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses after surgery.
What types of vision issues can premium intraocular lenses correct?
Premium intraocular lenses are versatile in addressing multiple vision issues. They can correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), age-related vision loss (presbyopia), and astigmatism (an irregularly shaped cornea). Some premium IOLs are designed to improve night vision and reduce halos and glare, offering comprehensive vision correction tailored to individual needs.

Choosing the right premium IOL involves a thorough evaluation of your specific vision requirements and lifestyle.
