Experience clearer, sharper vision with Vivity® Extended Vision IOL, which is designed to treat cataracts and presbyopia. This innovative lens enhances focus across various distances, reducing the need for glasses and minimizing visual disturbances like halos. Achieve a more natural visual experience post-surgery at OnSight Eye Center.
Restore Clear Vision Across Multiple Distances
Vivity Extended Vision IOL is a cutting-edge intraocular lens for patients undergoing cataract surgery who also want to address presbyopia, the age-related loss of near vision. Unlike traditional lenses, Vivity provides an extended range of vision, offering clear focus at near, intermediate, and far distances without the typical trade-offs like halos and glare. This lens utilizes X-WAVE™ technology to stretch and shift light, creating a broader focal area within the eye. As a result, patients experience improved visual acuity across multiple distances.
You May Consider Vivity Extended Vision IOL If:
- You want to reduce your dependency on glasses for near and intermediate tasks
- You have cataracts that affect your daily activities and quality of life
- You experience difficulty with night vision due to glare or halos
- You want a broader range of clear vision for everyday tasks
- You lead an active lifestyle that demands versatile vision
- You prefer a lens that minimizes visual disturbances and provides stable, long-term results
How is the Vivity Extended Vision IOL Implanted?
The Vivity Extended Vision IOL is implanted during cataract surgery, a procedure performed by Dr. Desmond at OnSight Eye Center. First, Dr. Desmond makes a small incision in your eye to remove the cloudy natural lens affected by cataracts. Once the cataract is removed, the Vivity lens is inserted through the same incision using a specialized injector.
The lens is carefully unfolded and positioned within the capsular bag, where it replaces your natural lens. Dr. Desmond ensures the lens is perfectly centered to optimize your vision. The procedure is quick, usually completed in under 30 minutes, and typically involves little discomfort. After the surgery, you’ll be able to return home the same day.
Benefits of Vivity Extended Vision IOL
Enhanced Visual Range for Daily Activities
Vivity Extended Vision IOL offers an expanded range of vision, enabling clear focus at near, intermediate, and far distances. This allows patients to engage in daily activities, such as reading, using digital devices, and driving, with reduced reliance on glasses. The lens design provides a smooth transition between different focal points, enhancing the overall experience.
Minimization of Visual Disturbances
Unlike traditional multifocal lenses, Vivity IOL minimizes common visual disturbances, such as halos, glare, and starbursts, which can be particularly bothersome at night or in low-light conditions. This feature is achieved through non-diffractive technology, making it an excellent choice for patients who drive at night or engage in other low-light activities.
Durable, High-Quality Material
The Vivity IOL is made from a premium hydrophobic acrylic material known for its durability and clarity. This material resists deposits and glare and maintains optical quality over time. Additionally, its strong, durable construction ensures that the lens remains stable and clear, providing consistent visual outcomes for years to come.
Greater Independence From Glasses
With Vivity Extended Vision IOL, many patients experience a significant reduction in their dependence on glasses or contact lenses after cataract surgery. This enhanced visual performance across various distances allows for a more active and independent lifestyle, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a balance between near and distant vision.
