Premium Lens Options for Cataract Surgery in Fort Worth

What Are Premium Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)?

There are three basic types of premium lens implants available:

1. Lenses that are designed to give you vision at one distance (as a standard lens would), but also correct astigmatism (referred to as toric lenses).  Toric lenses only benefit those who have a need for astigmatism correction.
2. Lenses that are designed to give you vision at distance, intermediate, and near.  These multifocal lenses give you the best chance at complete spectacle independence, but they require a completely healthy eye without any other visual limitation than the cataract.
3. Finally, there are lenses that are designed to give you vision at two distances, either distance, and intermediate vision, or distance and reading vision. There are specific reasons that your doctor might choose one of these lenses over a multifocal lens.

The single vision Toric lens implants available in our practice are:

• The Alcon Toric
• The Tecnis Eyhance Toric

The multifocal type lenses used in our practice are:

• The Tecnis Multifocal
• The Alcon PanOptix and PanOptix Toric
• The Tecnis Synergy and Synergy Toric

The lenses that give you an extended depth of view are:

• The Eyehance Toric

Each of the premium lens implants offers advantages and disadvantages which are unique to each individual patient. Your surgeon at Ophthalmology Associates will take time to discuss all of your options prior to your surgery.  Our surgeons have extensive hands-on experience with the subtle differences between all these lens implant options.

Our Primary Choice –PanOptix® Trifocal Lens

We are proud to offer the PanOptix Trifocal Lens from Alcon, the first and only FDA-approved trifocal lens in the United States. This lens is designed to deliver sharp, seamless vision at all distances — near, intermediate, and far — so you can enjoy life with less dependence on glasses.

Benefits of the PanOptix Lens:

•  Full-range vision: Read a book, work on your computer, and drive — all without glasses.
•  Fewer visual compromises: Many patients experience fewer issues with glare and halos compared to older multifocal lenses.
•  Proven satisfaction: 99% of patients who received the PanOptix lens said they would choose it again.
•  Optimized for active lifestyles: Ideal for patients who want freedom from glasses in daily life.

“The PanOptix lens is a game-changer — it gives cataract patients the opportunity to see clearly across all distances, not just far away.”
– Dr. Han

Who Is a Good Candidate for the PanOptix Lens?

The PanOptix lens is an excellent option for many cataract patients, especially those who:

• Want to reduce or eliminate their need for glasses
• Enjoy active lifestyles with tasks at multiple distances
• Don’t have other significant eye health conditions
• Are motivated to invest in long-term visual independence

Our team will evaluate your eye health, lifestyle, and visual goals to help determine if you are a candidate.

What About Astigmatism?

If you have astigmatism, we offer Toric versions of the PanOptix lens that correct astigmatism during cataract surgery. This allows you to benefit from both full-range vision and astigmatism correction — all in one procedure.

Patients Love PanOptix

In a clinical study, 129 patients were asked about their experience with the PanOptix® Lens.

Did You Know?

• The long-term cost of astigmatism when left uncorrected during cataract surgery can range from $2,150 to $3,440 for the cost of eyeglasses or contact lenses.
• If your vision worsens, you will need a prescription for new glasses or contact lenses. This requires a visit to the doctor for a vision exam that is not covered by Medicare.
• If you lose or damage your glasses, Medicare will not cover the cost of a replacement pair or repairs to the existing glasses.
