Near Vision Presbyopia Correcting Lens Implants at Brass Eye Center
in Albany New York

Near Vision Presbyopia Correcting Lens Implants provide excellent vision after Cataract Surgery at the full range of distances- far or distance vision, arms length or intermediate vision and up close near vision. Depending on your specific vision requirements, there are different types of near vision presbyopia correcting lens implants that Dr. Brass may select. These include the Crystalens® Lens Implant, the ReZoom™ Lens Implant and the ReSTOR® Lens Implant. Each of these Lens Implants or Intraocular Lenses (IOL) works in a different way to help you achieve your vision correction goals of being able to see at a variety of distances after Cataract Surgery-without being dependent on eyeglasses, bifocals or reading glasses. Dr. Brass will be able to suggest which one will help you achieve your vision correction goals after Cataract Surgery. Presbyopia correcting  accommodating and multifocal lens implants correct both your distance vision and your presbyopia after Cataract Surgery. For the vast majority of patients, having a near vision correcting multifocal or accommodating lens implant means that you will be able to see at distance and up close without being dependent on eyeglasses.

So, patients choosing to have a presbyopia correcting lens implant will likely find that they can drive, watch television, play golf and keep score, read a menu, play cards or do crafts-without the need for glasses. Patients choosing near vision correcting lens implants typically experience a greater overall freedom from glasses allowing them to participate in most everyday activities without dependence on, or the hassle of glasses.

As with any surgical procedure, there are always risks as well as benefits. During your visit to our office we will perform a cataract examination and then arrange your cataract surgery scheduling. In addition, we will then spend the time necessary to review the everyday activities that are most important to you-and whether being independent of glasses for those activities is something that you would like to achieve. As you prepare for your visit to Brass Eye Center it will be helpful if you begin thinking about what those activities are so that you can discuss them and explore them with the staff.

If you decide to have a near vision presbyopia correcting accommodating or multifocal lens implant, our staff will make sure to review your questions and fully explain any additional fees related to the lens implant that you might be responsible for. Medicare and most insurance covers the cost of the cataract surgery, the surgical facility fee for cataract surgery, the surgical fee for Cataract Surgery-but not the cost of the near vision presbyopia correcting lens and its implantation. In most cases, Medicare or the insurance provider asks us to bill you for the additional cost of the necessary testing, the lens itself and its implantation. Our staff will be pleased to review any costs as well arrange easy affordable monthly payments to fit your budget, should you decide that the near vision lens is the best choice.
