Making the right decision
Choosing the Best IOL for You
Your choice of an IOL is meant to be your choice for the rest of your life. At Grosinger, Spigelman & Grey, we know that this is an incredibly important decision and our surgeons do not take this responsibility lightly. Many factors weigh into the decision and it is our job to make sure that you and your family understand the options available, their benefits, and their risks. It is our goal to provide each patient with an exceptional outcome that not only improves the vision by removing the cloudy cataract lens, but also provides the best quality of life possible.
We run state-of-the-art testing to measure, and re-measure, the eye's characteristics to verify the accuracy of our IOL power calculations before your surgery is ever scheduled. This includes precise measurements of your eye's length, corneal curvature, and other unique optical characteristics, run through multiple validated formulas to ensure the lens we select is the right fit for your eye.
Every IOL category offers a different balance of near, intermediate, and distance vision, along with different tradeoffs around glare, halos, and adaptability. That's why our surgeons take the time to sit down with you, understand your daily routine, and guide you through how each lens option performs in the real world.
