IOL Options for Cataract Surgery
During cataract surgery, the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Depending on the IOL model, you might need to wear glasses or contacts after surgery for certain activities. Make sure to discuss your IOL options with your eye doctor to choose the best fit for your eye and lifestyle needs.
| Intraocular Lenses (IOL) | Zones of Clear Vision Without Glasses | Spectacle Independence |
|---|---|---|
| Monofocal | One focal zone of clear vision without glasses. Usually set for distance vision. | Provides clear vision at a specific distance, typically distance vision. One or two pairs of glasses will be required to for clear vision in the other two depths of focus, such as near and intermediate vision. |
| Multifocal | Multiple focal zones (near – intermediate – far) with clear vision or continuous range of clear intermediate-distance vision. | Reading glasses for very fine print. Bifocals may require glasses for medium-distance activities |
| Accommodating | Clear intermediate and distance vision. | Reading glasses for close vision tasks depending on the IOL model. |
| Toric Lens | Clear distance vision with monofocal toric iols. Multiple focal zones or extended range of clear vision with multifocal IOLs. | One or two additional pairs of glasses for near and intermediate vision unless the toric lens is also multifocal. Patients with multifocal toric lenses might still require reading glasses to read fine print. |
| Light Adjustable Lenses | The LAL has one focal point that is tailored to the patient’s visual needs. It provides clear vision at their desired distance. The more advanced LAL+ has one focal point of clear vision with a small extended depth of focus. | One or two additional pairs of glasses to provide clear vision outside the customized focal point. |
Corrective Vision Procedures with Laser Technology in Ventura
We offer several advanced corrective vision procedures in Ventura. One of our most popular surgeries is LASIK eye surgery due to its quick recovery and immediate results.
In addition to LASIK, we provide other options like PRK for those with thinner corneas, or EVO ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) for those who prefer or require a non-permanent solution. EVO ICL is also ideal for patients with high refractive errors or thin corneas.
If you are interested in corrective surgery, schedule a consultation with one of our experts to explore your options.
Treatment of Corneal Diseases and Conditions in Ventura,CA
Our Ventura ophthalmologists also specialize in the treatment of various corneal diseases and conditions, including pterygium, keratoconus, and chronic dry eye.
Pterygium Treatment
Pterygium, a growth on the eye’s surface, mild cases can be managed with topical treatment, but once the growth starts interfering with your vision, surgical intervention is required.
Keratoconus Surgeries
For keratoconus, we offer cutting-edge treatments like corneal cross-linking and intracorneal ring segments implantation to halt progression and improve vision. Treatment very often combines both procedures to strengthen the cornea and normalize its shape.
Chronic Dry Eye Diagnostic and Treatment
There are different treatment options for chronic dry eye, as the condition can be caused by a variety of factors and each patient’s condition may respond differently to different therapies.
We employ sophisticated diagnostic tests to pinpoint the causes of your chronic dry eye. Once we know what’s causing the issue, we can explore treatment options, from artificial tears to treatments like Lipiflow, BlephEx, punctal occlusion, and other alternatives.

Today's life-changing procedures make it possible to improve your vision to 20/20—or better.
LASIK Eye Surgery

PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
What is PRK Surgery?
PRK Surgery (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a type of laser eye surgery that is used to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. PRK is an alternative to LASIK eye surgery and is particularly suitable for individuals who may not be candidates for LASIK due to certain corneal characteristics.
Overview of the PRK surgery process:
- Corneal Epithelium Removal:
- In PRK, the surgeon begins by removing the thin outer layer of the cornea called the epithelium. This can be done using an alcohol solution, a special brush, or a laser.
- Laser Reshaping of the Cornea:
- Once the epithelium is removed, a laser is used to precisely reshape the cornea. The laser ablates or removes microscopic amounts of corneal tissue based on the patient’s refractive error. The goal is to correct the curvature of the cornea and improve the focus of light on the retina.
- Healing Process:
- Unlike LASIK, where a corneal flap is created, PRK does not involve creating a flap. Instead, the corneal surface is allowed to regenerate naturally. The healing process involves the growth of new epithelial cells over the treated area.
- Post-operative Care:
- Following PRK surgery, patients are given medicated eye drops to aid in the healing process and prevent infection. Recovery may take a bit longer compared to LASIK, and patients may experience temporary discomfort during the initial days.
Key considerations for PRK surgery include:
- Corneal Thickness: PRK may be a suitable option for individuals with thinner corneas who may not be ideal candidates for LASIK.
- Occupational Considerations: PRK may be recommended for individuals with occupations or lifestyles that carry a risk of corneal injury, as it eliminates the creation of a corneal flap.
- Healing Time: The initial visual recovery may take longer with PRK compared to LASIK. Patients typically experience optimal vision several weeks after the procedure.
PRK is a well-established and effective procedure for vision correction, and its suitability depends on individual factors. It’s important to consult with an experienced refractive surgeon or eye care professional to determine the most appropriate laser eye surgery option based on your eye health and lifestyle.
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
Refractive lens exchange (RLE), is when a clear lens is implanted to replace your eye’s natural lens to correct your vision.
This procedure is often used for pre-cataract patients, as a preventative vision correction solution. Refractive lens exchange (RLE) can also correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Pterygium Surgery
Pterygium surgery is performed under topical anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL)
Keratoconus is a progressive disease of the cornea. With collagen cross-linking (CXL), you can halt the progression of keratoconus by strengthening your cornea.
Laser Blepharoplasty
Laser blepharoplasty eye surgery, also known as laser eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure to rejuvenate eyelid tissues (skin, muscle, or fat). Blepharoplasty is performed for both cosmetic and vision correction purposes. NVISION has an eye clinic to help address your needs – Book a consultation today.
Pediatric Strabismus Surgery
Strabismus surgery changes the alignment of the eyes by loosening or tightening eye muscles.
Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma eye surgery involves using a microscopic stent to drain fluid that could harm the optic nerve.
This procedure is minimally invasive.
Brow Lift
A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure to raise the eye brows.
ENTROPION/ECTROPION
These are medical conditions that affect your eyelid. Entropion is a medical condition where the eyelid is turned inward, caused your eyelashes to interact with the eyeball. Ectropion is a medical condition where the eyelid is turned outward so that the edge does not touch the eyeball.
Light Adjustable Lenses
Light Adjustable Lens: Adjustable Intraocular Lens (IOL) – Light adjustable lenses, or adjustable intraocular lenses, are a modern intraocular lens type that can provide more precise vision adjustments for cataract patients.
