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

  • 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.

  • When my husband had his cataract surgery last year, we always felt great confidence in Ms. McCreery and thanks to her and the professional team, Pat made a great recovery and has his quality of life back.
