Depending on the results of your examination, you may have the option to choose a toric IOL or a multifocal IOL or you may choose a standard monofocal IOL. Regardless of your options all of the lenses will help you see better, so there is no wrong choice.
Medicare and supplemental insurance typically cover the cost of cataract surgery with a standard monofocal lens. If you would like to take advantage of the advanced lenses, the cataract procedure will still be a covered service, but you will pay an additional fee for the premium lenses and services as they are considered to be a cosmetic procedure. Talk to us about those details.
We thank you for reading this introduction. During your visit you’ll have the opportunity to hear more about these choices to make your vision better. We look forward to your examination and to helping you learn more about these exciting new options.
