Restor Intraocular Lens
The Restor Intraocular Lens is a revolutionary multifocal lens that provides patients with distance and near vision after cataract surgery. This lens enables patients to see a range of vision, from driving to reading/computer use. Most patients that have Restor Lenses do not need to wear glasses for any tasks. If you are over 50 or developing cataracts, this Premium Intraocular Lens implant may be right for you. For more information, click on the website link below:
Acrysof Toric Intraocular Lens
Do you have Astigmatism? Have you had difficulty wearing contact lenses to correct for astigmatism? If you are not a candidate for LASIK surgery, or if you are developing a cataract, the Acrysof Toric intraocular lens may be an option for you. For patients having cataract surgery, the standard/traditional lens implant does not correct astigmatism. The Acrysof Toric lens is a vision correcting lens that is inserted during cataract or clear lensectomy surgery. The unique design of this premium lens makes it possible to reduce or eliminate astigmatism and significantly improve your vision. The Acrysof Toric implant is a fixed focus lens, so it can be set to correct distance, intermediate or near depending on what range the patient desires. Therefore reading glasses may be needed after the surgery.
All-Laser Custom LASIK
If you are over 18 years of age and depend upon glasses or contact lenses, you may be a candidate for Laser Refractive Surgery. There have been new and exciting developments in LASIK surgery over the last few years. Palmetto Eye Specialists offers LASIK and PRK surgery that utilizes the most up-to-date technology. A custom mapping of your individual cornea (like a finger print) can be uploaded into the STAR S4 Excimer Laser to give you the best possible visual outcome. We now offer All-Laser LASIK where the corneal flap is also created by the laser for a more precise result.
Laser Refractive Surgery can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. You can also choose to have a monovision correction with one eye for distance and the other eye for near.
