Intraocular Lens Implantation (IOL) replaces your eye’s natural, aging or clouded lens with a clear artificial lens to restore crisp vision. IOLs correct refractive errors—myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism—and eliminate cataracts in one procedure, delivering sharper focus at near, intermediate, and/or distance ranges depending on lens type.
Eliminating cataracts and clouded vision
Reducing or removing dependence on glasses or contacts
Correcting astigmatism, nearsightedness, or farsightedness
Enhancing overall contrast, color, and night‑time clarity
You have significant cataract formation or desire refractive correction
You are in good general health and able to undergo surgery
You wish to reduce reliance on corrective eyewear
You understand lens options (monofocal, multifocal, toric)
Your IOL journey begins with a detailed pre‑op consultation. Typical steps include:
Numbing eye drops and mild sedation
Tiny incision at the corneal edge
Removal of the natural lens (phacoemulsification)
Insertion of the foldable intraocular lens
Self‑sealing incision or fine suture closure
Each eye takes 15–30 minutes; most patients go home the same day.
