Choose the Right Lens for Your Lifestyle

After removing your cataract, your surgeon will implant an intraocular lens (IOL) to restore clear vision. ADV Vision offers multiple lens options to match your vision needs and lifestyle.

Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)

The Light Adjustable Lens is the first and only FDA-approved IOL that allows for post-surgery customization. After your cataract surgery, we fine-tune your vision using light treatments to achieve your desired visual outcome.

Multifocal IOL

Multifocal lenses provide clear vision at multiple distances—near, intermediate, and far. These lenses reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses after cataract surgery.

Toric IOL

Toric lenses are specifically designed for patients with astigmatism. They correct both the irregular curvature of the cornea and restore clear distance vision.

Monofocal IOL

Monofocal lenses correct vision at a single distance, typically for far vision. Reading glasses may still be needed for close-up tasks.
