Dear Patient,

Thank you for meeting with Dr. Chow. As you consider your surgical options, we would like to share additional information and resources about intraocular lenses – the lens that is implanted during surgery to replace the natural lens that has become clouded due to cataracts. There are many lenses to choose from for your surgery and it’s important to know what each type of lens can offer so you can make an informed decision.

Do You Have Cataracts?

Monofocal Lens

Near	Intermediate	Distance	Astigmatism


· Designed to provide clear distance vision · You will likely still need glasses for reading (and possibly distance vision)

Astigmatism-Correcting Monofocal Lens

Near	Intermediate	Distance	Astigmatism


· Corrects both cataracts and astigmatism · Designed to provide clear distance vision without glasses · You will likely still need glasses for reading

Extended Vision Lens

Near	Intermediate	Distance	Astigmatism


· Corrects cataracts · Provides extended range of vision for distant and intermediate tasks and offers functional near vision for tasks like reading a menu or putting on makeup · You may still need glasses for reading fine print · Not designed to correct for astigmatism

Next-Generation Trifocal Lens (Coming Soon)

Near	Intermediate	Distance	Astigmatism


· Corrects cataracts · Designed to provide a full range of vision - near, far and in-between · Not designed to correct for astigmatism

Next-Generation Trifocal Astigmatism-Correcting Lens

Near	Intermediate	Distance	Astigmatism


· Corrects both cataracts and astigmatism · Designed to provide a full range of vision - near, far and in-between
