What Is Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) Technology in Eye Surgery?
In a cataract removal procedure, the cloudy natural lens is surgically removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) that allows clearer, sharper images to reach the retina. Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) technology provides a wide range of premium intraocular lenses that offer a broader range of vision, both near and at a distance. In many cases, EDOF technology can reduce or remove the need for glasses or contact lenses after cataract surgery.
When Should Cataracts Be Removed?
Cataracts are common among older people. Mild cataracts may cause little or no problems with vision, but they should be monitored by your doctor in case they worsen and begin to significantly affect your vision and quality of life. If you begin having trouble seeing to drive or perform everyday tasks, it may be time to consider cataract removal surgery. Performed by Dr. Nemi at Lotus Vision in Alpharetta, cataract removal is a quick, painless procedure. Surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under intravenous sedation and topical anesthesia.
