Innovative laser procedures like LASIK may be life-changing for young adults, but it doesn’t offer the same long-term benefits for patients 55 and older. Laser vision correction does not prevent the natural aging process that causes the eyes’ lenses to become less flexible (presbyopia) and cloudy (cataract). Lens replacement procedures address both presbyopia and cataracts, resulting in lifelong vision correction.
Dr. Wu refers to this procedure as “one and done.” There are different types of IOL implants to give you lifelong freedom from presbyopia, reading glasses, and cataracts!
