Lens Implants

Are lens implants right for you?

Are you looking to reduce your dependency on glasses or contacts but aren’t a candidate for LASIK or SMILE surgery? Are you developing Cataracts that are negatively impacting your vision? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you may be a candidate for an Intraocular Lens Implant! These implants replace your natural lens and are usually placed during cataract surgery, however they can also be implanted to correct your vision prior to the development of a cataract. Empire Eye Physicians offers the latest lens implants available on the market today. Your surgeon will discuss your vision goals with you to help decide which lens option is best suited for your lifestyle.
