What Is The Difference Between Standard And Premium Intraocular Lens Implants (IOL's)

Premium IOLs

Multifocal IOLs

These lenses provide clear vision at multiple distances by having different zones set at different powers. This design allows some patients to be less dependent on glasses for near, intermediate, and distance vision.

Toric IOLs

Designed to correct astigmatism, these lenses are tailored to individuals with irregular corneal curvature, helping improve distance vision without reliance on corrective eyewear.

Accommodative IOLs

These IOLs can change focus like the eye's natural lens, allowing for better vision across a range of distances. They attempt to mimic the eye's natural ability to focus on objects at varying distances by shifting their position slightly inside the eye.

Enhanced Image Quality

Premium IOLs often use advanced technology to reduce visual disturbances like glare and halos, which are sometimes reported with standard IOLs.

Cost

They are generally more expensive than standard IOLs and may not be fully covered by insurance, potentially requiring out-of-pocket expenditure.

Standard IOLs

Simplicity and Reliability

Standard IOLs have a long history of use, providing a straightforward, reliable solution with a well-documented track record of success in improving distance vision.

Monofocal IOLs

These are the most commonly used IOLs. They are designed to provide clear vision at one distance, typically optimized for distance vision. Patients usually need glasses for near tasks or reading.

Fixed Focus

Standard IOLs do not correct astgmatism and have no special features to handle varying focal points.

Minimal Visual Disturbancesy

These lenses typically have fewer issues with visual disturbances such as halos and glare compared to some types of premium IOLs, especially under certain lighting conditions.

Cost

Typically covered by health insurance, making them a cost-effective choice for many patients.

Become Our Next Success Story

From my first appointment, Snead Eye Group had a very pleasant office and was so professional! I was worried because my doctors were all from Connecticut, and they were all excellent. But I hit the jackpot with the Snead Eye Group. They are extremely knowledgeable and up to date on their education to be beyond current! They get 10 stars from my husband and myself!

This was the best experience I have ever had at an eye appointment! The staff is super caring and listens. The doctor was great and thorough. The selection of frames was great and the consultant, Heather, was knowledgeable and not pushy. I would highly recommend!

I continue to be impressed by Snead Eye Group! My initial visit was an emergency and the staff scheduled me immediately. The second visit was a re-check, and it was quick and efficient. My third visit was an eye exam. The technician modified her exam to meet the needs of my sensitive eyes. This is a group of hardworking and caring individuals!
