LASER VISION
LASIK - Laser Eye Surgery Charleston
Because we aim to please our patients, LASIK at Seltzer Laser Center is affordable. We offer advanced technology and one of the most experienced LASIK surgeons in Charleston or South Carolina. ReZoom™ Multifocal Intraocular Lens
Multifocal IOL replacement surgery is almost the same as cataract surgery. As with any surgical procedure there are certain risks but the risks are not any greater than that of cataract surgery. The good news is that cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed types of surgery and is the most reimbursed procedure by medicare. The AAO prohibits the usage of language that calls this surgery SAFE but patient data indicates great results on this very common eye surgery procedure. (2.7 million procedures performed each year)
If you are experiencing cataracts or have presbyopia the ReZoom ™ Multifocal Intraocular Lens is a great option. This lens is designed for very flexible and multifunctional vision. ReZoom™ intraocular lens is a second-generation refractive multifocal IOL that provides cataract patients with greater independence from glasses than monofocal IOLs. The ReZoom™ proprietary multifocal design provides a range of vision that monofocals cannot match.
Introducing the Rezoom™ Multifocal IOL
The ReZoom™ Balanced View Optics™ technology distributes light over five optic zones so that each lens has a distance-dominant central zone for distance vision in bright light conditions when the pupil is constricted.
If you have been told by your eye doctor that you have cataracts and are experiencing one or more of the following vision problems, you may be a candidate for the ReZoom ™ Multifocal lens:
- If you have trouble reading and may require bifocals.
- If your vision is getting increasingly blurred
The Visual Freedom Benefit of REZOOM
- In a clinical study 92 percent of ReZoom™ IOL patients reported never or only occasionally having to wear glasses.
How do I determine my candidacy for this type of lens implant procedure?
Almost anyone who has cataracts and is in good general health may be candidate for presbyopic correcting lens exchange and/or implantation after cataract surgery. You must first consult one of the doctors at Seltzer Eye to help determine your actual candidacy and hear about your lens options. The Rezoom, Crystalens and Alcons restor multifocal IOL could also be great options. Depending on your specific visual needs your ophthalmologist will help guide you in the right direction. If our doctors feel that this will not be a good option the conversation will stop there and we can look at other options. Each lens type has advantages, for example the Rezoom lens may be better for patients that have extreme levels of myopia or hyperopia. If you have already had cataract surgery and have recently heard about this great new technology you might still be a candidate for this type of lens exchange. Former refractive surgery patients (LASIK, PRK, RK) could also be candidates for presbyopic correcting IOL implantation.
Although these lenses provide great options for reducing dependence on glasses it is important to note that complete freedom from glasses might not be possible. We therefore ask patients with unrealistic expectations or expectations of complete visual freedom to clarify expectations with our doctors before surgery.
