Vision Correction for Ages 55+
When considering vision correction surgery, LASIK is often the first procedure that comes to mind. However, it’s not the only option—and it’s not the best choice for everyone.
Procedure
.Custom Lens Replacement
The Procedure: Expected Outcomes
CLR is a procedure where the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with a custom-designed intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors—without the presence of cataracts.
The result is sharp, clear vision at all distances—near, far, and intermediate—especially with premium IOLs. It’s ideal for people who are not candidates for LASIK or PRK due to age or eye anatomy.
Ideal for:
- Presbyopia, High Myopia/Hyperopia, or Astigmatism
- Those not suitable for corneal laser procedures
- Wanting a permanent alternative to reading or multifocal glasses
- Looking to prevent cataracts before they develop
Procedure
.Refractive Cataract Surgery
The Procedure: Expected Outcomes
Refractive Cataract Surgery is a modern upgrade to traditional cataract removal. In this procedure, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) that not only restores clarity but also corrects refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and even presbyopia.
With premium IOL options—like multifocal, trifocal, and toric lenses—many patients regain excellent distance, intermediate, and near vision, often reducing or eliminating their need for glasses.
