&srotate=0)
Premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) are a popular form of vision correction, especially if you have cloudy or blurry vision due to cataracts. However, not everyone understands how these lenses work or which ones best suit their needs. So, what factors should you consider before choosing a premium lens?

What are IOLs, and when are they needed?
Intraocular lenses are usually necessary when you suffer from cataracts, a condition that clouds your vision and causes blurriness, glare or halos around light sources, and double vision. Standard IOLs are used to replace the natural lens of your eye to restore normal vision. Premium lenses, on the other hand, go beyond traditional options and provide far better vision quality and sharper focus. They can even reduce your dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
What happens during an IOL consultation?
Precision Surgery Center of Napa Valley offers many kinds of IOLs based on your needs and lifestyle goals. During your first appointment, our ophthalmologists will review your history of cataracts and perform a comprehensive eye exam. We’ll discuss the types of IOLs available, including the advantages and disadvantages of each type. This will help us identify the best option for your vision goals.
What should you consider when selecting an IOL?
When choosing between different premium IOLs in Napa, CA, you should consider factors such as:
- Your vision concerns: IOLs can help you manage nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
- Your lifestyle: Do you play a lot of sports, or do you prefer reading and other activities that require close-up vision? Do you work with computers for long hours? This will help you determine which intraocular lens is best for your lifestyle.
- Your budget: Premium IOLs have different pricing options, so we'll discuss the cost and insurance coverage so you can make an informed decision.
- Your eye health: We’ll ensure that your eyes are healthy enough for the procedure and discuss any possible risks or complications.

What results can you expect from premium IOLs?
In general, premium IOLs provide improved vision clarity and contrast. You may also benefit from better night vision, reduced glare, and improved depth perception. Your surgical team can provide more information about the expected outcomes. Rest assured that these lenses are designed to help meet your individual visual needs. Though it takes about 2 – 4 weeks to recover, you’ll start to notice the benefits shortly after surgery.
