REAL VisionSM with accommodating IOL's

What can I expect my vision to be for reading & distance?

The vast majority of our patients enjoy significantly improved distance vision, and the ability to read the 8-point font in the phone book without reading glasses. Most can see text that is much smaller than that! Some of our patients report the ability to read 4-point font, which is found on road maps and medicine bottles. top

How long will the surgery take? Will I feel anything?

REAL Vision is a painless procedure that is performed in an outpatient surgical facility. You will receive eye drops to anesthetize your eye and conscious sedation will be administered to help you relax. The actual surgery usually takes less than 15 minutes. top

When will I be able to return to normal activities after the REAL Vision procedure?

Typically you will be able to return to work and to normal activities following your one-day post op visit. You will be provided with medications to prevent infection and decrease inflammation, and a protective shield to cover your eye while sleeping. top

What will the REAL Vision procedure cost? Will insurance cover any of it?

REAL Vision is obviously more costly than Lasik. But considering all that REAL Vision does for presbyopic patients, and the fact that it is permanent, most people agree that it is well worth the investment. We have several finance options available. top

How can I find out if I'm a good candidate for REAL Vision?

First, a REAL Vision consultant will discuss the procedure and your candidacy with you. We will then perform a thorough examination and advise you of a customized treatment plan for you. Just give our office a call at 630-3937 to schedule your consultation. top
