Who should have lens replacement?

Are you fed up constantly adjusting your glasses or wrestling with contact lenses? As you age, your vision changes and glasses or bifocals may be required. This can be frustrating and hinder your ability to enjoy life to the fullest.

Lens replacement can provide a solution for a more dynamic and satisfying lifestyle, free from vision limitations—picture reading, driving, and exploring without the burden of glasses or contacts. The advanced technology in lens replacement surgery can correct multiple vision problems, resulting in crisp, natural vision.1Sibylla Richter-Mueksch MD a 1 et al.

While many people are intrigued by lens replacement, they may not know if it is the right choice for them. They may not be familiar with the benefits or potential drawbacks. Deciding on something as important as your eyes can be daunting. It is critical to choose the best option for yourself.

Lens replacement offers several advantages over laser eye surgery, especially in terms of the permanence of the effect. This means that you may no longer need reading glasses for most tasks and will never develop cataracts.2Khandelwal, S.S. et al.
