Sharpening Near and Distance Vision

Around your 40s, it’s common to notice trouble focusing up close — a condition known as presbyopia. Fortunately, advanced procedures can help you see clearly again at all distances. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) replaces the eye’s natural lens with a custom intraocular lens (IOL) that corrects both near and distance vision, providing long-term clarity and reducing dependence on glasses.

For patients who still have clear natural lenses, blended vision LASIK or monovision LASIK can also be effective options to restore comfortable vision across multiple

Clarity for Life

As the natural lens becomes cloudy with age, cataract surgery offers not just clearer sight but an opportunity for lasting visual freedom. Laser cataract surgery delivers precise, customized treatment using advanced imaging and laser technology.

Patients can also choose from a range of premium lens implants, including the Light Adjustable Lens and multifocal options, designed to reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses after surgery. For those seeking the latest innovations, robotic cataract surgery and Valeda Light Therapy represent exciting advancements in precision and visual rejuvenation.

What to Think About Before Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is a safe, life-changing procedure — and a little planning helps you get the most out of it.

Before your consultation, think about your vision goals:
• Do you want more freedom from glasses?
• Sharper distance vision for driving?
• Clear near vision for reading or crafts?

Ask yourself — What kind of activities do I want to enjoy more easily after surgery?
Am I open to advanced lens options that could reduce my need for glasses?
What matters most to me: reading, driving, or seeing everything clearly at every distance?

Cataract surgery is a safe, life-changing procedure — and a little planning helps you get the most out of it. We’ll talk with you  about the lens choices that best fit your lifestyle, from advanced multifocal and toric lenses to the Light Adjustable Lens, which can fine-tune your results after surgery. Whether you’re exploring surgery for yourself or helping a parent make the decision, the team at Eye Associates of Tucson is here to answer questions and guide you every step of the way.
