UH OH! Suddenly you are noticing a progressive deterioration in your vision: You can't quite focus on certain things like you used to, it's harder to read the paper or see what you're typing on your computer– so finally you've braved the embarrassment of driving to the local drug store to purchase a pair of reading glasses (or three). If you've reached the "over-40-vision" stage of life, you are one of millions of Americans who suffer from these same symptoms. You wish you could return to earlier days of good, youthful vision.
Lucky for you, you
don't have to live with your aging vision any longer!
People who experience these symptoms are suffering from presbyopia, the natural aging of the eye– rendering both your lens and eye muscles less flexible and able to function normally. This condition is likely to affect all persons beginning around the age of 40.
In the past, the only treatment for presbyopia was an implantable monofocal lens. This was effective in delivering adequate intermediate to distance vision, but still required glasses for close-up vision.
At Virginia Eye Consultants, there IS a better solution: Premium Intraocular Lens Implants! Originally developed for cataract patients, premium IOLs are a great option for giving presbyopia sufferers the freedom of improved vision at all distances permanently! An IOL implant is a versatile solution that can help reduce or eliminate your dependence on readers, bifocals and even progressive lenses.
What Are Premium IOLs?

Premium IOLs are the artificial lenses that replace the eye's natural lens that is removed during cataract and IOL implant surgery. Traditional "monofocal" IOLs were used in the past to replace the eye's natural lens, which provided good vision at only one distance– requiring the additional use of glasses or contacts after surgery.
Now, modern "multifocal" IOLs offer the possibility of excellent vision at all distances without glasses or contacts! The expert team of surgeons at Virginia Eye Consultants will assess which premium IOL is right for you, including options for patients with astigmatism!
