The older you get, the more likely you will experience cataracts. Although barely noticeable in the early stages, cataracts begin to cause blurry vision as they develop.
They can also cause your eyes to become sensitive to light, colors to become faded and dull, and various other symptoms. Cataract surgery can help you reclaim your sight.
Just because you have cataracts doesn’t mean you need to settle for subpar sight for the rest of your life. By investing in a premium replacement lens, you can experience crisp vision at any distance.

What Happens During Cataract Surgery?
Intraocular lenses or IOLs replace your eye’s natural lens during cataract surgery. Cataracts grow in your natural lenses, making it necessary to remove the entire lens.
Cataract surgery removes and replaces your natural lenses with IOLs. During cataract surgery, your surgeon creates an opening in your cornea.
This incision gives them access to your natural lens. When they can reach it, they break and remove the afflicted lens.
After your lens is out of your eye, they insert your IOL. IOLs are sturdy lenses that take the place of your natural lens and handle its job.
They focus light on your retina, providing sharp vision after cataract surgery. IOLs come in various styles you can choose from, depending on your vision goals and lifestyle.
What are the Types of IOLs?
A standard IOL allows you to see well at one distance after cataract surgery. That means you will need glasses or contacts to see at the other distances.
Premium IOLs can give you functional sight at all ranges. In some cases, they can even improve your eyesight.
There is a wide variety of premium IOLs that could suit your needs. They include multifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF) and toric IOLs to treat astigmatism.
An exciting new IOL is the Vivity IOL. It is setting a new standard for IOL technology.
What Sets the Vivity Premium Lens Apart
The Vivity IOL is a new development in the world of premium IOLs. It excels at all ranges, including far, near, and intermediate distances.
It uses X-WAVE technology, which makes it the first and only non-diffractive EDOF IOL. This technology reduces halos and visual disturbances caused by other types of IOLs.
The Vivity IOL uses all the light that enters your eye, extending the depth of focus. It delivers excellent distance and intermediate vision while still providing functional up-close sight.
It also blocks harmful UV rays from the sun with a blue light filter built into the lens material. UV light can cause many different problems in your eyes.
Being able to block it out without sacrificing the quality of your eyesight is a huge bonus. The Vivity IOL also comes in a toric model.
Toric model IOLs compensate for the irregular shape of astigmatic corneas. If you have astigmatism, a toric model IOL can get rid of it forever.
Getting rid of astigmatism and cataracts in one procedure could give you the best sight of your life. If you would like to rarely or never need glasses again, the Vivity IOL may suit you.
