Find out if you're a good candidate for laser cataract surgery.
Standard cataract surgery, including the use of monofocal lenses that provide clear vision at a single distance, is typically covered by insurance. However, premium lenses, which can correct vision at multiple distances or reduce the need for glasses, usually require out-of-pocket payment. Financing options are available to help manage the cost of these advanced lens packages. Associated Eye Care offers 0% financing for 6, 12, 18 or 24 months*. Our staff is also available to help you determine whether the eye care you need is covered by Medicare.

Signs it’s time to have your eyes checked for cataracts:
These are the visual symptoms that are common for those patients whose lens has clouded and formed a cataract.
Schedule nowMonofocal IOLs are the standard lenses typically covered by Medicare or medical insurance. Monofocal lenses are intended to provide clear vision when glasses or contact lenses are worn. Most patients with monofocal lenses wear prescription glasses for clearest vision at both near and far distances.
Toric IOLs are advanced lenses specifically designed for patients with astigmatism. In addition to correcting the visual effects from the cataracts the lenses also contain astigmatism correction to provide clear vision at a single distance without glasses. Glasses are still required for clear vision at other distances. Most commonly, patients with Toric lenses choose clear distance vision and wear glasses for near and mid-range tasks.
Extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs deliver a continuous range of clear vision that extends from far distances to about an arm’s reach. Different lenses provide this visual range using different technologies, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. If you are interested in an EDOF lens, your surgeon can review the options with you to determine which will best meet your needs. The most commonly-used EDOF lenses include Vivity, Symfony, and IC-8 Apthera. All EDOF lenses come in Toric models that can reduce astigmatism. EDOF lenses are an excellent option for individuals wanting a range of focus for an active lifestyle, but OK with the idea of reading glasses for very near visual tasks.
Full range of focus IOLs provide clear vision at far, mid-range, and near distances. These lenses provide the greatest level of freedom from glasses and can eliminate or significantly reduce the need for glasses and contact lenses. To gain this wide range in visual focus, these lenses do require compromises in the form of nighttime halos or glare. Common lenses in this category include PanOptix and Odyssey.
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is a unique IOL that can be adjusted after cataract surgery using non-invasive UV light treatments to reach your desired visual outcome. The LAL offers the most precise outcomes of any lens option, as it is the only lens that can be adjusted after surgery to fine-tune your results. It is also the only lens that allows you to “test-drive” a specific distance of focus before finalizing your outcome. This makes it an excellent option for anyone wanting an extremely precise outcome, those desiring monovision, and those uncertain of their desired distance of focus.
