PRELEX: THE SOLUTION FOR PRESBYOPIA​

Aging and Dysfunctional Natural Lens

The eye’s aging and dysfunctional natural lens which hardens and becomes cloudy over time. This process starts in your 40s as a gradual loss in near focus, causing frequent eye strain and headaches, leading to needing reading glasses or bifocals. Over time, your natural lens becomes harder and more cloudy, causing your glasses prescription to change frequently, and other symptoms appear such as night glare and halos as well as overall reduced clarity of your vision. At later stage, the lens of your eye has become cloudy enough that it is significantly impacting your vision, causing a cataract.

Multifocal Lens Implant

PRELEX corrects vision permanently by treating the cause of the problem. PRELEX surgery replaces the dysfunctional natural lens with a clear, high-tech multifocal lens implant. It not only corrects your glasses prescription – in most cases correcting both your distance vision and near vision – it also allows us to fix the clouding of the lens and provide a better quality of vision at the same time– typically for the rest of your life!*This treatment also prevents any future development of cataracts, so there will be no need for an additional procedure when you are older.
