Cataract Surgery Lens Options


Cataract surgery has evolved beyond simply removing the cataract; it's now an opportunity to restore clear, youthful vision. With most patients between 60 and 70 years old and leading active lives, today’s advanced lens options are designed to enhance both your experience and your long-term visual outcomes.

Advanced Lifestyle Lenses



With Advanced Lifestyle Lenses, patients can now enjoy vision that matches their lifestyle. When combined with Laser Cataract Surgery, the Advanced Lifestyle Lenses we offer can correct mild to severe astigmatism and can provide a full range of vision with a reduced or eliminated need for glasses! The Advanced Lifestyle lens that will work best for you depends upon your specific vision needs.

Light Adjustable Lens

First and Only Adjustable Intraocular lLens


The RxSight Light Adjustable Lens is the first and only intraocular lens (IOL) that can be customized after cataract surgery. The Light Adjustable Lens is made of a special photosensitive material that can be adjusted in response to ultraviolet (UV) light.

This optimization is done in the weeks following lens implantation through a series of non-invasive light treatments that take only a few minutes each. You will have the unique ability to adjust and preview your vision until it meets your personal desires and lifestyle requirements.

PanOptix® Pro Trifocal Lens

Alcon's Most Advanced Trifocal Lens


PanOptix® Pro is Alcon's most advanced trifocal lens, designed to provide a full range of vision at near, intermediate, and distance. It is an excellent choice for patients seeking the greatest opportunity for spectacle independence after cataract surgery. Available in both standard and Toric versions.

PanOptix Pro Trifocal IOL

TECNIS PureSee™

Extended Depth of Focus Lens


TECNIS PureSee IOL and TECNIS PureSee Toric II IOL

PureSee™ is Johnson & Johnson's next-generation Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lens. It delivers excellent distance and intermediate vision with functional near vision while maintaining visual quality like a monofocal lens.

Many patients choose PureSee™ because of its low incidence of halos and glare and excellent night vision performance. Available in both standard and Toric versions.

Toric Lens

Correcting Astigmatism During Cataract Surgery


Toric lenses are designed for patients with astigmatism and can significantly improve distance vision by correcting corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery. They may be combined with premium lens technologies in certain patients.

Monofocal Lens



Monofocal lenses provide clear vision at a single focal point, typically distance vision. Most patients will still require glasses for reading, computer work, and other close-up activities.

Which Lens Is Right for You?

We customize lens recommendations based on your visual goals, lifestyle needs, and eye health. Whether your goal is maximum freedom from glasses with PanOptix® Pro, exceptional quality of vision with PureSee™, correction of astigmatism with a Toric lens, or traditional cataract correction with a Monofocal lens, our surgeons will help you choose the option that best fits your life.

“I am 4 weeks post laser cataract surgery with AMAZING results! After living all of my life with poor vision (very nearsighted, some farsightedness and astigmatism) and having to wear glasses or contacts to see, I now have 20/20 vision with the new Symfony lenses. I highly recommend Dr. Farah who provided excellent care & surgical technique. He was thorough, took time to answer all of my questions and my husband's, called the day before my left eye surgery to assess whether he would need to "tweak" the procedure to give me the best possible vision I hoped to achieve, and also checked on me the evening after my surgery. His assistant, Cathy, is the best....efficient and professional but very calming and caring. All of the Cullom Eye Center staff are always accommodating and friendly. Big kudos to Karen Rockey who was so helpful early in the decision process. THANK YOU for my new vision and life without glasses!”
