Premium Lens Implants

A. The PanOptix is a trifocal IOL. These lenses can enhance your vision at all ranges. This includes close up, intermediate, and far away, meaning all distances are covered.

With the trifocal lens, you’ll be able to see while doing activities that you need a range of vision to complete.

That means you will be able to:

• See distant objects when driving or attending a sports event
• Perform close-up activities like reading a book or cellphone screen
• See at middle distances, like when you’re using a computer

Many cataract surgeries use a standard monofocal lens. Monofocal lenses only help you see well at a distance, even after you have cataract surgery.

With the standard monofocal lens, you would still need to wear glasses if you wanted to complete close-up work or see at other distances. The PanOptix trifocal IOL is the only trifocal lens available in the U.S.

A. Besides improving your vision at all distances, the PanOptix lens has no blurry zones. That means that there’s no need to strain your eyes to make out images because you can see everything clearly.

Many patients report more vivid vision and brighter colors after their cataract surgery. They were also less bothered by glare from bright lights.

A. Yes, there is a toric PanOptix lens for patients with astigmatism. A toric lens can sharpen your vision and clear distortion from astigmatism.

A. There is no guarantee that if you choose the PanOptix trifocal IOL, you will not need to wear glasses. A survey of people with PanOptix lenses found that more than 80% said they never need to wear eyeglasses.

Another 11.4% said they rarely used glasses. With the PanOptix IOL, you’ll be able to decrease your dependence on glasses and other visual aids!

A. A premium IOL like the PanOptix lens is very durable and should last a lifetime. The lens you choose for your cataract surgery will determine your vision for the rest of your life.

A. If you want the best results, you should have the PanOptix lens implanted in both eyes. This will provide you with the best possible vision!

A.Like any surgical procedure, there are potential side effects with the PanOptix IOL. These include glare, rings, or starbursts around lights.

You may also experience a reduced ability to distinguish objects in dim lighting. If you do experience these, it may affect your ability to safely drive at night.

It’s important to ask your eye doctor about any possible side effects with any intraocular lenses you may be considering.

• Near vision, for when you’re reading or looking at your cellphone

Vivity lens FAQs

A. The Vivity lens is an extended depth of focus IOL. That means it may provide clearer vision at all ranges of distance. Those include:

• Distance vision, such as when you are driving
• Intermediate distance, for when you're working on a computer or shaving
• Near vision, for when you're reading or looking at your cellphone

A. Not all IOLs will help you see better at all distances. Standard IOLs are called monofocal lenses.

With monofocal lenses, you’ll see clearly at one distance, but you’ll need glasses if you want to see at other ranges, like up close or at intermediate distances.

Multifocal IOLs are designed to provide better vision at all ranges than a monofocal lens can provide. Even then, you may still have to wear glasses after you have cataract surgery.

A. The Vivity lens uses a proprietary technology called X-WAVE technology. X-WAVE technology uses Wavefront Shaping and two smooth surface transition elements.

These elements work together simultaneously to shift and stretch the light that you see without splitting it. For patients, this means that the focal range is stretched.

At the same time, the second surface shifts the wavefront on the lens and utilizes all available light energy, leading to the best possible vision.

A. Yes, the Vivity lens is available as a toric IOL. Toric IOLs are designed to provide clear vision and correct astigmatism.

Your eye doctor will examine your eyes and astigmatism to determine if the Vivity Toric IOL is your best option. If you are likely to have a large amount of astigmatism after surgery, it might not be the best option. Irregular astigmatism may also mean you need a different IOL.

A. Every patient is different, so your eye doctor cannot promise you’ll never need glasses even if you choose the Vivity lens. However, 45% of patients who chose the Vivity lens said they rarely or never need glasses.

That compares with just 17% of patients who got monofocal IOLs. Patients were surveyed six months after surgery.

Patients who received the Vivity lens are more likely to rate their vision as good or very good than those with monofocal IOLs. 92% of Vivity patients rated their intermediate vision in bright light as good or very good.

Only 63% of monofocal patients picked that rating. 57% of Vivity patients said their near vision was good or very good, compared with just 25% of monofocal patients.

Even if you still need to wear glasses after cataract surgery, you can reduce your dependence on visual aids and regain your clear vision with the Vivity IOL!

A. Some patients find it more difficult to see well in dim lighting. They may also have trouble distinguishing objects when there isn’t much contrast with the background.

These effects may require you to be extra cautious when driving at night. A small percentage of patients experience starbursts, halos, or dark areas in their vision.

A. Talk to your eye doctor. The eye care specialists at Berg Feinfield Vision Correction can discuss the benefits and side effects of each lens.

They’ll ask about your lifestyle and what activities you frequently perform. Our goal is to help you find the premium IOL that is perfect for you and your lifestyle!

A. Because Crystalens allows recipients to focus clearly between near, far, and middle distances, it offers a distinct advantage. Previous intraocular lens implants forced patients to choose which single vision they preferred, near or distance, forcing them to wear glasses or contacts to achieve a full range of clear vision. Crystalens allows patients to see better at all distances!

A. The Crystalens procedure is designed to improve vision depending on a patient’s refractive error. Although the majority of patients will achieve perfect (20/20) or near-perfect (20/40) vision, there is no guarantee that the technique will provide unflawed results for everyone. Each person’s eyes are uniquely different, and your doctor will consider a variety of factors before recommending this procedure. According to a recent Crystalens clinical trial, 98% of participants could pass a driver’s test!

A. Your middle vision, or visual acuity at arm’s length, should show marked improvements following the Crystalens procedure. Many patients are able to throw away trifocals, which were once needed to help achieve focus between distances. Crystalens offers automatic focusing power, mimicking the accommodation ability of your eye’s natural lens.

A. Dr. Berg or Dr. Feinfield will need to give you a thorough eye examination before this question can be answered. Because everyone’s eyes are different, we cannot be certain that Crystalens will be an effective treatment until specialized measuring and eye evaluation is performed. Generally, good candidates are healthy, have healthy eyes free of disease, and have not had cataract surgery previously.

A. Most patients with cataracts will see development in both eyes, so Crystalens is typically performed on both eyes. However, if only one eye shows signs of cataract development, you may opt to have only that eye treated. Even if treatment in both eyes is recommended, you will generally have one eye done at a time with a period of two to three weeks between procedures.

A. You will be asked to have someone drive you home from surgery as it may take a few days to recover vision. Distance vision will clear in 1 – 2 days, with middle and near vision improving within 2 weeks. Your vision may not reach its full focusing power for a few months. Your doctor will inform you of what to expect and give you suggestions for strengthening the focusing power of your eyes. Although most Crystalens patients do not need vision aids once healing is complete, some patients may require glasses to achieve optimal visual acuity.

A. A very small number of Crystalens patients experience glare, diminished night vision, halos, or sensitivity to light. Many of these side effects are temporary, but there are effective ways to minimize these problems if and when they occur. Your doctor will discuss all risks and side effects with you during your eye consultation.

A. Your eye will be sensitive following surgery, so it is important you follow your doctor’s post-operative instructions. He will give you a timetable for when you can resume work and other activities, depending on your ability to heal quickly. Most patients are able to return to work, drive, and perform normal activities within a few days, with limitations on exercise, makeup-wearing, lifting, sports, and any activities where eye contact is possible.
