Am I a good candidate for a premium IOL?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for every type of premium lens. Factors such as astigmatism, age-related eye conditions (like macular degeneration), or dry eye can influence which IOL is best for you, or whether a premium option is even advisable.
What types of premium IOLs do you offer?
There are several kinds of premium lenses, including multifocal, accommodating, and toric lenses. Your doctor can explain how each one works and which might be most appropriate based on your everyday activities, such as reading, driving, or working on a computer.
How will a premium IOL impact my need for glasses?
While many patients enjoy greater visual freedom, premium lenses may not completely eliminate your need for glasses, especially for close-up tasks. Understanding the level of visual independence each option provides can help set realistic expectations.
What are the risks or downsides of premium IOLs?
Premium IOLs may cause side effects, such as glare, halos, or reduced contrast sensitivity, in some individuals. Discuss any potential risks specific to your eye health and how these might affect your quality of vision.
What is the cost, and does insurance cover it?
Medicare and many insurance plans typically cover the standard monofocal IOL but not the added cost of premium lenses. Ask about pricing, financing options, and any out-of-pocket expenses.
