If you do not mind wearing glasses, standard single-focus lens
implants may be best for you. They provide excellent vision at one
distance and glasses are usually required to achieve the full range
of vision. For example, if the lens implant's focusing power is
selected to give good distance vision, glasses will likely be needed
to read, sew, work on crafts and use a computer. Over the last 20
years, our surgeons have implanted tens of thousands of single-focus
lens implants and most patients are very happy with the
vision they provide.
