Cataract Care at Willis-Falkenberg Eye Center
The TECNIS® Multifocal Lens Implant – 95% Patient Satisfaction!
As we age, both the quality and the clarity of our vision is often compromised due to changes in our sight from cataracts. This is mainly caused from what is known as reduced contrast sensitivity.
How well we see in different light situations is called functional vision. Patients who have cataracts often find themselves in the situation of having reduced functional vision. Not only is it difficult to see at all ranges of vision – up close, in the distance and at mid range, it is difficult to see when the lighting is poor.
Changes in our functional vision and contrast sensitivity affect our ability to read and drive a car. When this occurs, many worry about safety and totally give up driving, especially during the evening hours and at night when vision can be affected the most. In fact, recent studies have shown that individuals who have a cataract are six times more likely to be involved in an accident of some type.
At Willis-Falkenberg Eye Center, our cataract specialists understand the impact these changes can have on your daily life. That’s why we offer the latest in lens technology, the TECNIS® Multifocal IOL. This lens is designed to give our patients quality vision at all ranges – near, far and mid-range. And perhaps most importantly to some, the new Tecnis lens improves the quality of vision in dim and dark environments.
The shape of the lens allows light entering the eye to refract more accurately allowing patients to see greater detail.In fact, in national studies, 9 out of 10 patients choosing this lens technology for their Cataract surgery reported they rarely wore glasses after surgery. 95% of patients reported were very satisfied with the TECNIS Multifocal IOL. If you are experiencing difficulty seeing, especially in low light situations, be sure and let your doctor know on your next visit. This safe, vision enhancing lens may be right for you!
