The primary goal of cataract surgery is to restore the patient’s vision. Typically, patients will not need glasses for distance vision after the procedure; however, they may need glasses for near vision. Today, there have been significant advancements in intraocular lens technology, resulting in a wide variety of options with specific features, including correction for near vision. The doctor should be knowledgeable and trained in the various options and qualities that can provide the best solution for each patient, and should also be trained in the placement and specific characteristics of each lens.
To provide the best solution for the patient, a special measurement for the lenses—called BIOMETRY—must be performed a few days before the procedure, and this is usually done at the clinic where the surgery is scheduled. The reason for this examination is that, based on this measurement, the doctor will conduct an analysis to determine which lens will provide the best solution for the patient. Immediately after the biometry, the lens is ordered so that this specific lens will be available at the clinic on the day of the procedure.
There are various qualities and technologies available for lenses, so prices vary from company to company and from clinic to clinic. The patient is informed about this and decides with the doctor before the scheduled surgery which options are available and which will provide the best solution to the patient’s problem.
