Cataract
One out of two people over the age of 60 suffer from cataracts. When cataracts progress to the point that they affect vision, it’s time to trade in the clouded lens for a crystal clear lens.
Modern cataract surgery involves removing the clouded natural lens and implanting a clear replacement lens. The standard replacement lens is focused for one field of vision, typically distance vision—most patients who receive a standard lens require glasses for reading and other close-up activities.
For some cataract patients, freedom from glasses is important. For them, Associated Eye Care offers a new generation of lifestyle lenses that provide sharper vision with less reliance on reading glasses or bifocals.
“Glasses just don’t offer the freedom of lifestyle that some people require. For them, a lifestyle lens may be the best choice,” says Dr. Douglas Carlson, one of our six cataract specialists.
A Medicare ruling allows beneficiaries to receive partial payment for state-of-the-art lifestyle lenses that correct for vision at all distances. For more information on lifestyle lenses, click here.
We also offer Toric lenses for patients with astigmatism. Click here for information on Toric lenses.
