What Is Refractive Cataract Surgery?
Refractive cataract surgery is the process of correcting refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia, as a part of the cataract removal process. To correct these vision challenges, your surgeon will implant a premium IOL.
What Are Intraocular Lenses?
An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens that replaces your natural eye lens. IOLs come in various types to meet your vision needs.
Monofocal or aspheric lenses focus at a single distance (near, intermediate, or far).
Multifocal lenses provide vision correction at near, middle, and far distances.
Light Adjustable Lenses™ can be adjusted with UV light after the procedure to fine-tune your vision as needed.
Toric lenses help with astigmatism.
Does the Refractive Cataract Surgery Procedure Hurt?
At Durrie Vision, we fully numb your eyes with anesthetic eye drops and offer a mild sedative, which you can choose to take for your nerves. Patients report little or no discomfort during their procedure, which typically takes 10 to 15 minutes.
Insurance and Cataract Surgery
Medicare and some private insurance plans may cover a portion of this procedure. However, premium IOL options, such as a multifocal lens, are paid out-of-pocket after we verify your benefits.
Is Cataract Surgery Procedure Affordable?
Durrie Vision offers special promotions, discounts, and 0% interest financing to ensure that you can experience the transformative benefits of refractive cataract surgery.
