Cataract surgery has come a long way from simply removing a cloudy lens. Today’s technology offers patients the opportunity to enjoy a broader range of vision and greater freedom from glasses after surgery.
At MedRVA Healthcare, our cataract surgeons are committed to bringing the latest advancements in eye care to our patients. That’s why we are excited to offer the new TECNIS PureSee™ Intraocular Lens (IOL), an innovative lens designed to provide high-quality distance and intermediate vision while maintaining excellent visual quality.
What Is the TECNIS PureSee™ Lens?
The TECNIS PureSee™ is an Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lens implanted during cataract surgery. Unlike traditional monofocal lenses that provide clear vision at only one distance, PureSee is designed to extend the range of clear vision, helping patients see more naturally across multiple distances.
This means many patients can comfortably perform everyday activities such as:
- Driving
- Using a computer
- Cooking
- Shopping
- Watching television
- Seeing a dashboard or GPS more clearly
with less dependence on glasses.
What Makes PureSee Different?
One of the most exciting features of the TECNIS PureSee™ lens is its ability to provide an extended range of vision while minimizing common visual disturbances often associated with premium lens technology.
Clinical studies have shown:
- Excellent distance vision
- Improved intermediate vision compared to traditional monofocal lenses
- Some functional near vision
- Low rates of bothersome halos and glare
- Contrast sensitivity comparable to a standard monofocal lens
In fact, 97% of patients reported no very bothersome visual disturbances, and 97% said they would recommend the lens to friends or family.
Who May Benefit?
The TECNIS PureSee™ lens may be a great option for patients who:
- Want to reduce their dependence on glasses after cataract surgery
- Spend time on computers, tablets, or other screens
- Lead active lifestyles
- Want high-quality vision with fewer nighttime visual disturbances
- Are looking for a lens option that balances visual range and visual quality
The best lens choice depends on your eyes, lifestyle, and visual goals. During your cataract consultation, your surgeon will discuss all available options and help determine which lens is right for you.
