Irene Maher's Health Report - Contact Lens Implants Contact Lens Implants Cataract lens implants. Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss in Americans 60 and older. A new procedure could help cataract patients put things back into focus. Generally, cataracts are surgically removed and replaced with a lens implant.
Most implants only provide clear vision at one set distance.
Now, there's a new lens implant that delivers significantly better sight to many patients after cataract surgery. A lens implant was surgically inserted to restore good vision to that eye, but it could restore good eyesight at a far distance. Recently, a cataract developed in myrl's right eye. This time, a new type of lens was implanted in Taylor's affected eye. It's a lens implant that acts more like the eye's natural lens, delivering clear vision at both far and near distances.
