Advanced Cataract Surgery
The National Consumer Advisory Board named Dr. Griffin one of America’s Best Physicians in 2021-2024.
Advanced Cataract Surgery
Advanced cataract surgery allows the surgeon to tailor your procedure with the goal of reducing your dependency on glasses or contact lenses. Griffin Eye Center provides more options for advanced cataract surgery in the local region. We use the latest cataract Intra-Ocular Lenses (IOLS) that fits your unique eye and/or the RXSight light adjustable lens that can be adjusted after cataract surgery.
The advanced Intra-Ocular Lenses (IOLS), and latest vision diagnostics can potentially eliminate one’s dependence on glasses for most activities such as driving, working on a computer and/or reading a book, rendering a more natural like-vision.
During your procedure, Dr. Griffin will use the most advanced vision diagnostics, the latest Zepto® microsurgical technology (a device that was designed specifically to perform a precise capsulotomy) and one of the advanced cataract Intra-Ocular Lenses to complete your cataract surgery.
There are a number of advanced IOL options, each having some advantages and disadvantages. These include Accommodating IOLs, Multifocal IOLs, Toric for astigmatism and the new Light Adjustable Lens. Which one is best for you depends on the unique characteristics of your eye as well as your lifestyle needs.
Intraocular Lenses:
- Monofocal: Gives you one range of vision. You may need glasses to see up close or at another range.
- Multifocal: This option gives you the ability to see distance, intermediate, and near without being dependent on glasses.
- Toric: Correct astigmatism.
- The Light Adjustable Lens: this allows optimization of your vision after lens implantation and healing. If you and your doctor select the Light Adjustable Lens, the first step is to have your cataract safely removed and the adjustable IOL implanted. The cataract removal and IOL implantation procedure is the same as if you selected a non-adjustable IOL. Click for more information on RX Sight LAL.

“I have not had 20/20 vision since 1965. It is like a miracle. I keep reaching for my glasses, but quickly realized I do not need them. Dr Griffin, his team and surgical clinic did an excellent job from start to finish. They explained everything step by step as we went through the process. He came highly recommended from people I trust, and I got new sunglasses.”- Brenda P.
