Monofocal Aspheric Implants (Toric)
Our practice now uses AcrySof® Natural IOLs in
cataract surgery. These state-of-the-art lenses not only block ultraviolet
light like other IOLs but also filter blue light. Research suggests that blue
light may contribute to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a progressive,
irreversible disease that is one of the leading causes of blindness.
Previously, patients lost the ability to filter blue light after cataract
surgery, possibly increasing their risk for AMD. AcrySof lenses reduce this
risk without affecting color perception or the ability to see in dim
light.
