Custom Cataract Surgery with PanOptix IOL

As you grow older, your natural lens becomes cloudy. This is the result of a cataract forming in your eye. This cataract has to be removed surgically and replaced by an intraocular lens (IOL). You may choose a standard IOL which is used for the sole purpose of replacing the cloudy lens with a clear lens. The standard IOL is covered by medical insurance when surgery is warranted. However, as you may know, you do have the option to upgrade to a premium lens for a better range of vision and less dependency on glasses.

Dr. Haas performs custom cataract surgery where chooses the best IOL option for the patient based on their measurements taken in the office, their profession and/or their hobbies. It is important to know how you normally spend your day, and what range of vision is most important to you.
