Do you want to get the most out of your cataract surgery? Experience clearer, high-quality vision when you choose the Apthera IOL at Herschel LASIK and Cataract Institute.
What is the Apthera IOL?
The Apthera IOL is a premium intraocular lens that can correct presbyopia and astigmatism. Presbyopia is an age-related eye condition that happens when the lens begins to lose its flexibility, making it harder to see things up close.
People with presbyopia often require reading glasses for daily activities like reading, going on the computer, or putting on makeup. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is misshapen, distorting your vision across distances.
The Apthera IOL’s unique wavefront-filtering design allows for a greater extended depth of focus and filters out distortions to bring you a crisper, clearer image. Standard monofocal lenses typically improve distance vision but require visual aids to enjoy a full range of vision.
However, the Apthera IOL can maintain this clear distance vision while allowing you to focus on near and intermediate objects through a small aperture in the lens. It uses a specialized technology called a FilterRing™ to help light focus on the back of your eye, letting you see clearly up close, far away, and in between.
You won’t have to worry about the “blurry zones” common with other IOLs, and you can enjoy better vision across multiple distances. This means you’ll get to experience greater clarity and visual freedom doing the activities you love.
Who is a Good Candidate for the Apthera IOL?
If you want to gain a wider range of vision with fewer visual interruptions out of your cataract surgery, you may be a good candidate for the Apthera IOL. It is also an excellent choice for patients with presbyopia with or without a small amount of corneal astigmatism.
You may not be a good candidate for the Apthera IOL if you have a retinal condition, are at risk for developing a retinal condition, or have poor pupil dilation. Your eye doctor can perform a comprehensive eye exam to screen for these risk factors beforehand.
To determine whether the Apthera IOL could be right for you, you should schedule a consultation with your eye doctor at Herschel LASIK and Cataract Institute. They will discuss your visual goals, medical history, and lifestyle with you to discover whether the Apthera IOL could help you achieve your dream vision.
What Will My Vision Be Like with the Apthera IOL?
Once you’ve healed from your cataract surgery, you can expect clearer vision at all distances with reduced distortions. This clarity remains consistent across different lighting conditions, making transitions easier and giving you greater visual freedom.
You can enjoy peacefully looking out across the water on an afternoon cruise, watching movies with your grandkids, or reading a good book with stunning clarity. Instead of scrambling for your reading glasses or trying to remember where you left your contact lenses, you’ll be living in the moment and making meaningful memories with the clear vision you’ve always wanted.
