Our Auto Focus option is our most advanced lens package. It provides the greatest flexibility in your vision and is designed to help you see clearly at both near and far distances, with the highest level of freedom from glasses available. Your eyeglass prescription will be built directly into your new, permanent lens implant, helping you enjoy life with maximum visual independence.
Our Fixed Focus option includes either astigmatism correction (if applicable) or our basic lens option.
If you have astigmatism, we can correct it, allowing you to see clearly at one focal point (usually distance) without glasses.
If you do not have astigmatism or choose not to correct it, this becomes our basic lens option. Your vision will be improved with surgery, and your remaining prescription will be corrected in your glasses afterward.

In a healthy eye, light enters the eye through the cornea, passes through the natural crystalline lens, and is accurately focused onto the retina, resulting in a crisp, clear image. As the eye ages and develops a cataract, the lens becomes cloudier, causing less light to pass through. The light that does not make it to the retina is diffused or scattered, causing vision to become unfocused and blurry.
In traditional cataract surgery, the surgeon uses a scalpel to make a small incision in order to remove the cataract. They may then break the lens into smaller pieces with an ultrasonic device to remove it from the eye. After the lens is removed, they will insert a new intraocular lens (IOL) into the eye.
Choosing the most skilled and experience cataract surgeon is imperative, as your vision is one of your most precious senses. It is important that you discuss your lifestyle and visual goals with your surgeon as you partner together to maximize results. Our friendly and knowledgeable team is always happy to help answer your questions about cataract surgery and explain your options based on your lifestyle and unique visual goals.
