What are Premium Intraocular Lenses?
A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens. During cataract surgery, this clouded lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). There are many different types of IOLs available on the market today, including standard and premium. If you are considering cataract surgery, our team will speak with you regarding the different IOLs and which one is right for you.
Premium IOLs are specifically designed to provide a better range of vision after cataract surgery, which means you will not need to rely as much on glasses to see clearly. There are several different kinds of premium IOLs, including:
- Toric IOLs: These are single-focus lenses designed for people who have astigmatism.
- Multifocal IOLs: These contain more than one focusing power in each lens and help individuals to focus up close, at middle range, and far in the distance.
- Accommodating IOLs: These cause the muscles in your eyes to adjust their focusing power to allow you to see clearly at closer distances.
- Extended Depth of Focus IOLs: These are similar to multifocal IOLs, but with less focusing power. However, glare and halos are not as big of a problem with these lenses.

Benefits of Premium Intraocular Lenses
Premium IOLs offer patients the possibility of freedom from glasses following cataract surgery. This means you won’t have to worry about buying glasses, keeping the prescription current, or remembering to wear them or bring them with you every day. Ideal candidates for these IOLs include those who:
- Prefer not to wear glasses on a daily basis.
- Do not have other eye problems.
- Do not mind an extra out-of-pocket cost.
