Here at Charlotte Ophthalmology, we are proud to offer the latest exciting technologies available to our patients with cataracts. The advanced technology lens implants we offer can provide a full range of vision, from near to far, without the need for glasses or bifocals. Drs. Branner, Vaziri and Whiteside are giving Charlotteans great vision and the opportunity to be glasses free! These multifocal lens implants include the AcrySof® ReSTOR® and the TECNIS® Multifocal lenses.

AcrySof® ReSTOR® LENS

The AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens is a breakthrough because it corrects cataracts with or without presbyopia. Presbyopia is the reason many patients need reading glasses as their eyes age. In fact, 4 out of 5 patients in the supporting clinical study who had the AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens in both eyes reported NEVER having to wear glasses.

The AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens is also a breakthrough because, unlike traditional monofocal intraocular lens implants (IOL), it’s a multifocal IOL, designed to restore your full range of vision without the need for glasses, from the pages of a book, to your computer screen, to scenic landscapes. As the name implies, monofocal lenses can only give you clear distance vision–you still need reading glasses.

TECNIS® MULTIFOCAL LENS

Tecnis® Multifocal lens will have you seeing clear at all ranges: distance, intermediate and near. This is the new age of great vision.  Bringing back your younger vision. This lens is made to even be used for dim light.  Rings maybe noticed but diminish in time.

Each year over 15 million cataract are preformed. A lens needs to be placed after the removal of a cataract (natural lens becomes cloudy, brown, or yellow.)
