An intraocular lens(IOL) is an artificial lens that is implanted into the eye during cataract surgery. The intraocular lens acts as a replacement for the eye’s natural lens (or cloudy lens) which is removed during the surgery.
At Swagel Wootton Eye Institute, we are proud to offer the latest innovations in cataract eye surgery and advanced IOLs. The team at Swagel Wootton will help you understand your lens options and choose the best intraocular lenses for your lifestyle during your consultation.

The best lens depends on your needs. All artificial intraocular lenses will correct vision for cataract patients, but your lifestyle and eyesight improvement needs will help determine the best fit.
If you’re comfortable wearing glasses after cataract surgery, monofocal lenses may be the right choice. If you want to avoid wearing distance glasses after cataract surgery and have astigmatism, a toric lens might be appropriate. A multifocal lens may be best if you don’t want to wear distance and reading glasses after cataract surgery.

The surgical procedure is the same regardless of lens type. Your surgeon will perform either traditional or laser cataract surgery to restore clear vision.
