Intraocular Lenses IOL’s

Cataract surgery involves the placement of an intraocular lens as part of the procedure

What Are Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)?

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses implanted inside the eye to replace the eye’s natural lens when it becomes cloudy due to cataracts. They restore clear vision and can also correct other vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

There are 3 types of intraocular lens:

  • Monofocal IOL’s which focuses light for distance or near
  • Toric IOL’s which has the additional ability to correct astigmatism
  • Multifocal IOL’s which can correct for distance and near vision. These lenses do not obviate the need for reading glasses for very fine print in some people however 80% are spectacle free.

 

Monofocal IOL’s are paid for by insurance companies as part of the cataract procedure but toric and multifocal IOL’s so called “Premium IOL’s” incur additional costs to the patient.

Testimonials

  • After more than 30 years of wearing varifocal glasses I decided to investigate the possibility of corrective eye laser surgery. I was unsure I would be a candidate as I had astigmatisms in both eye's After a consultation with Liz Grennan (optometrist) and the discovery of cataracts in both my eyes, Liz recommended cataract surgery with multi focal lens implants. Ms Kathryn McCreery carried out the procedure in Blackrock clinic and I have to say the difference is absolutely amazing, I now have 20/20 vision and no need for prescription glasses. The care and attention I have received from all of Ms McCreery’s team has been second to none.

  • I've been attending Blackrock eyecare and Ms. Kathryn McCreery for about 15 years. I've always felt it was a satisfying service, thorough and attentive. The staff there are courteous, informed and helpful. My queries are always dealt with efficiently and satisfactorily. Last year, I had cataracts removed in both my eyes. I was very well cared by all those involved. I feel confident with Ms. McCreery and her staff and grateful to have her professional attention.

  • I went to BlackRock Eye Care Clinic hoping to find out whether I was suitable for laser eye surgery. During the assessment, they discovered I had severe dry eye. Instead of rushing anything, they focused on treating that first, explaining that giving my eyes the care they needed would give me the best chance of a good outcome. I felt genuinely looked after from the very beginning. Once the dry eye was resolved, they carried out further tests and found cataracts in both of my eyes. Laser surgery was no longer an option, but Dr. McCreery took the time to talk me through everything with such clarity and kindness. Together, we decided that removing the cataracts and implanting permanent lenses was the right path forward. Throughout the entire process, every member of the team was so lovely — patient, reassuring, and incredibly supportive. I never felt rushed or left in the dark. Their care made what could have been a daunting experience feel safe and hopeful. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. McCreery and her team. The outcome has changed my life: after 30 years, I am finally glasses-free, and I couldn’t be happier.
