Contact Dominion Eye Care Ophthalmologists in Manassas and Warrenton, VA for Multifocal Intraocular Lenses in Cataract Eye Surgery

Dominion Eye Care in Manassas and Warrenton, VA offers multifocal lenses to solve different types of eye vision corrective issues. Some multifocal lenses will help fix near, intermediate and distance vision.

Why Choose Multifocal Intraocular Lenses for Cataract Surgery

The purpose of your lens is to bend (refract) light rays that come into your eye to help you see. Your own lens should be clear, but with a Cataract it is cloudy. Having a Cataract can be like looking through a foggy or dusty car windshield. Things may look blurry, hazy or less colorful.

The only way to remove a Cataract is with surgery. Our board-certified surgeons offer a variety of cataract procedures using traditional IOL, toric and/or, multi-focal lenses, as well as Laser-Assisted Cataract surgeries.

Cataract Surgery Using Multifocal IOLs

Multifocal IOLs are inserted into the eye during Cataract eye surgery to restore distance, intermediate and near focus vision. These IOLs do not rely on the ciliary body muscles in the eyes to focus. These lenses have concentric rings etched into the surface of the lens so imagery from a wide range of distance will be clearly focused on the retina. They may take some getting used to, and when the brain adapts to them, they work very well.

If you are planning to undergo Cataract surgery or a surgery which require lens removal and replacement, ask Dominion Eye Care ophthalmologists about Multifocal Intraocular Lenses.

What Might You Expect After You Have Cataract Surgery With a Multifocal IOL?

Multifocal IOLs are designed to deliver excellent vision over a range of distances and could reduce your need for glasses.

Please keep the following in mind:

  • Do not evaluate your vision until you have had surgery in both eyes. It is very difficult for your brain to accept the difference in the vision between your two eyes until they can work together and adjust to your new vision.
  • You are likely to see some glare and halos around lights after surgery. This usually improves within a few months.
  • Typically, best reading will be achieved in high light conditions. You will likely need reading glasses in dim light.
  • Your range of vision should be good and with time will adjust. Have patience.
  • You may still need glasses after surgery, but you should need them less for most daily activities.
