"I can now see up close!"
The Restor Multifocal Implant
Thursday, May 7, 2009
LASIK has been available in the US since the mid-1990's. Chances are that you know someone who has had LASIK to correct their distance vision. LASIK is still a great vision correction option, however for years I have heard people say, "I can see fine at a distance but I have to wear those darn reading glasses to see up close. What do you have that will fix that?" For years we did not have an answer for those patients. Well those days are over! Today we have the Clear Lens Extraction and multifocal implants to restore your near and intermediate vision.
Multifocal implants have been available for use on cataract patients since 1998. However in the past couple of years these implants have improved so much that they are now offered as a "Refractive" procedure to help patients live near glasses free via Clear Lens Extraction.
Clear Lens Extraction (CLE) is basically cataract surgery on a patient that does not yet have a cataract. During the procedure Dr. Temas removes the eye's natural lens and replaces it with an artificial lens that has multiple focus points built in. The surgery is fast (usually less than 7 minutes), and virtually painless to the patient. Our patients can leave the surgical center, go have lunch and almost no one would be able to tell that person even had eye surgery done!
Recently Kimberly Van Scoy of WXII News 12 sat down with two of our patients
that had Multifocal Implants. If you would like to see their story

So if you are ready to see up close, at a distance, and everything in between without glasses, then Clear Lens Extraction (CLE) with a Multifocal Implant could be for you! This procedure is not for everyone, so Temas Eye Center offers free screenings to determine your candidacy. Call today for your free CLE Screening.
If you currently have a cataract, you could also be a candidate for this remarkable implant. Call Temas Eye Center today to schedule your appointment for a cataract exam.
