Dr. Kim Discusses Lens Implants

The Alcon ReSTOR, Alcon Toric, AMO TECNIS, and B&L CrystaLens, premium lens implants are just a few of the options available at Harvard Eye Associates to improve the quality of your vision after cataract or refractive lens implant surgery.

Especially exciting are the latest lens implants that can provide both reading and distance vision without glasses. For 50 years, eye surgeons have used lens implants to replace the eye's internal focusing lens, but until recently every lens implant acted simply like a fixed-focus lens. Three new lens implants have been FDA-approved recently for correction of both distance and reading vision.

Each of these implants works slightly differently, and not all implants are right for all patients. This page is designed to help people interested in these new-technology lens implants to understand the similarities and differences between them. Our eye surgeons have extensive experience implanting all of the lenses described here and are take pride in helping each patient make an unbiased, informed decision on an implant that will provide a lifetime of clear vision.
