Cataracts are a normal part of the eye’s aging process affecting more than Trusted SourceCataractsNational Eye InstituteGo to Source24 million Americans
over the age of 40. They occur when an accumulation of protein causes the lens of the eye to become cloudy. At first, cataracts may not be noticeable, but eventually they will cause vision to become blurry to the extent that cataract surgery is necessary.
What is an IOL?
During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens, or IOL. Traditionally, a standard, or monofocal IOL is used during cataract surgery. Standard IOLs restore clear vision after cataracts and can correct near or distance vision, but not both.
Now, we are able to offer our patients advanced IOLs designed to correct vision at a range of distances and correct multiple refractive errors including presbyopia and astigmatism. In fact, Trusted SourceDirections For Use AcrySof®IQ PanOptix®Go to Source80.5% of patients
reported that after PanOptix they never needed to wear glasses again.
What is the PanOptix Trifocal IOL?
In 2019, Alcon PanOptix Trifocal IOL became the first and only trifocal intraocular lens to be approved by the FDA, but this doesn’t mean it’s new. Before this, this revolutionary vision correction technology was already a leading IOL in more than Trusted SourceDirections For Use AcrySof®IQ PanOptix®Go to Source70 countries

The PanOptix lens is so unique because it provides our patients with their greatest opportunity for true visual freedom. While other multifocal IOLs require patients to compromise clarity between some ranges of vision, PanOptix is truly a trifocal lens in that it delivers clarity at all ranges: near, intermediate, and distance. PanOptix is also designed to help patients who have astigmatism as well as patients with presbyopia, or age-related near vision loss.
Perhaps the best selling point for the PanOptix lens is the patient satisfaction rate. In a recent study, Trusted SourceDirections For Use AcrySof®IQ PanOptix®Go to Source99% of patients
who received the PanOptix IOL said they would choose it again.

5-Star Rating!
I had cataract surgery on both eyes 3 years ago. Dr. Montgomery made my left eye nearsighted, and right eye farsighted. "I have the best of both worlds!" I can hold a book 5" or 24" from my face and read. Doctor Montgomery and his staff have "always" been extremely professional. I highly recommend this group of pros to anyone looking for eye care.

I have always received great care from Montgomery Eye Care and an excellent result from the Cataract operation I had a few years ago. If you are looking to get the best eye health then this practice should be high on your list.

I was very apprehensive about having cataract surgery . Your vision is the most important thing in your life. My eye doctor recommended the professionals at Montgomery eye care. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. All of the people I interacted with were very helpful and professional.
With state of the art equipment and eye surgeons trained in the latest. Developments and techniques. Thank you Montgomery eye care!
