IOLs
Are you in need of cataract surgery? Are you looking to enhance your vision after undergoing the procedure?
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) can replace your eye's clouded lens to restore your vision. Premium options can minimize your need for glasses.
Our optometrists in Monterey, Salinas, and King City, CA, can use the latest IOLs to enhance your vision after cataract surgery.
We've Got the IOL You Need Contact Our Vision Center
Our team of ophthalmologists can perform cataract surgery and replace your clouded natural lens with a state-of-the-art IOL. In fact, with the right IOL, you may have better vision than ever before! Contact our Monterey practice to request your consultation.
The Three Primary Types of Intraocular Lenses
There are three main types of intraocular lenses. Each lens can correct one or multiple refractive errors and minimize your need for contacts or glasses.
Monofocal
Monofocal lenses correct vision at a single focus. They cannot correct both distant and near vision. For example, if you choose monofocal IOLs that provide distance focus, you will still need to wear reading glasses when using a computer or checking your phone.
Multifocal
Multifocal lenses provide vision correction at multiple distances. These lenses have multiple prescriptions in a single lens, so they can adapt to help you see objects near or far away. With our premium multifocal IOLs, you can experience a more seamless and clear range of vision.
Toric
Toric lenses are the only type of IOL that can help correct astigmatism. They can be either monofocal or multifocal, depending on your specific needs. During your consultation, we will explain your options to help you choose the right Toric IOL for your needs and lifestyle.

Premium IOLs
Any IOL that is not a standard monofocal lens is considered a premium IOL. Our Monterey ophthalmology practice offers a range of premium IOLs to bring your world into focus on your own terms following cataract surgery:
Vivity IOL
AcrySof® IQ Vivity™ IOL (Vivity) is a multifocal lens that allows patients to seamlessly see objects up close, at arm's length, and far away. With previous multifocal lenses, many patients could see changes between the prescription sections of the lens. The Vivity IOL uses the brand's X-WAVE™ technology, which prevents light diffraction and allows the light to hit the retina at different focal points without you noticing a transition between sections of the lenses. You can see clearly at any distance at any time after cataract surgery with this lens.
Acrysof IQ Toric IOL
The Acrysof® IQ Toric lens combines the benefits of Acrysof lenses with astigmatism correction. Acrysof IOLs are created using advanced manufacturing techniques to provide comfortable and lasting results. Their lenses feature improved UV protection and blue light filtering, and now even patients with astigmatism can benefit from the brand's advanced features.
PanOptix Trifocal IOL
The AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® Trifocal IOL is a multifocal lens allowing patients to see objects near and far with clarity. However, this lens is unique in that it uses ENLIGHTEN® Optical technology to enhance intermediate vision, so you can easily view a desktop computer without sacrificing near and distant vision. This technology also optimizes your ability to see during day and night, and in both dim and bright light.
J&J TECNIS Eyhance
J&J TECNICS Eyehance™ is the first monofocal lens to slightly increase the depth of focus. This intraocular lens allows you to clearly see objects at a distance and enhances your ability to see at intermediate distances. Patients may still need glasses for tasks like reading and writing, but they can experience clearer vision at other ranges.
J&J TECNICS Symfony
The J&J TECNICS Symfony™ is a multifocal lens that allows patients to see clearly at any distance. Unlike traditional multifocal lenses that have distinct focal points, the TECNICS Symfony lengthens the distribution of the light to increase your field of vision.
J&J TECNIS Synergy
J&J TECNIS Synergy™ is considered the most advanced TECNIC® IOL. It is another multifocal lens that includes a wide, continuous, and increased field of vision at any distance. These lenses also allow for clear vision both day and night with first-rate image contrast.

IOLs are a permanent solution to cataracts and can offer long-term vision enhancement.
We Make Cataract Surgery Safe and Comfortable
We understand the thought of surgery can be intimidating to some patients. That is why our doctors are here to answer any questions you may have throughout your treatment. We take pride in performing surgery that is:
Successful
Cataract surgery with IOL placement is one of the most successful surgical eye treatments. The American Academy of Ophthalmology reports that about two million cataract surgeries are performed every year, and that they significantly decrease the risk of injury.
Safe
Experience elevates safety. Our ophthalmologists have multiple years of experience placing IOLs to help restore and enhance their patients' vision. Our offices also use state-of-the-art equipment to minimize all risks.
Comfortable
Our patients are our priority. We want to ensure you are comfortable and relaxed throughout your entire procedure. We place numbing eye drops so your cataract surgery can be virtually painless, and provide ample patient education so you know exactly what to expect.
IOL Placement Recovery
The typical recovery time for cataract surgery is around eight weeks. Your doctor will give you a list of instructions to follow in order to have a safe and timely recovery, including:
Contact Us in Case of Emergency
Contact our office right away if you are experiencing any adverse symptoms, or symptoms that don't go away after several days.
Take Your Medication
Take your medication as prescribed daily.
Protect Your Eyes
Wear sunglasses when you are outside and wear protective eyewear while you sleep.
Don't Rub Your Eyes
Avoid scratching or rubbing your eyes for at least the first week following surgery.
Don't Drive Until You Are Cleared
Avoid driving for the first few days or until your doctor says it is safe to do so.
