Introducing PanOptix IOL

If you are an aging adult or a cataract patient seeking the best possible vision correction, PanOptix intraocular lenses (IOL) could be the perfect solution. Learn more about how PanOptix IOL can transform your vision and improve your quality of life.

What is PanOptix IOL?

PanOptix IOL is the first and only trifocal lens approved by the FDA for cataract surgery. Unlike traditional monofocal or bifocal lenses, PanOptix offers clear vision at all distances—near, intermediate, and far—reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses after surgery. This advanced technology provides a full range of vision, allowing you to perform daily activities with greater ease and comfort.

Who is a Candidate for PanOptix IOL?

PanOptix IOL is suitable for most cataract patients, particularly those looking for a solution to improve their vision after cataract surgery. Ideal candidates may include individuals who:

 

Cataract Patients: If cataracts affect your quality of life by causing blurry vision, glare, or difficulty with daily activities, PanOptix IOL can significantly improve your vision.

 

Active Lifestyle: PanOptix IOL is ideal for those who lead an active lifestyle and require clear vision for various activities, such as reading, using digital devices, driving, and outdoor pursuits.

 

Stable Vision Prescription: Candidates should have a stable vision prescription. Significant changes in your prescription over the past year might indicate that your vision is still changing, which can affect the outcome of the surgery.

 

Good General Eye Health: Ideal candidates should have good overall eye health. Conditions such as severe dry eye, retinal diseases, or corneal abnormalities might affect the suitability of PanOptix IOL.

 

No Prior Eye Surgeries: While previous eye surgeries don’t necessarily disqualify you, discussing your surgical history with your doctor to determine if PanOptix IOL is a suitable option is essential.
