Griffin Eye Center’s Sarah Griffin M.D., and Neil Griffin M.D., cataract and LASIK surgeons, are the first in the both North Carolina and South Carolina to use the Clareon TruPlus, an enhanced design intraocular lens and toric intraocular lens (IOL) for cataract surgery by Alcon. It is implanted in patients following cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange to correct vision.
The TruPlus IOL is a remarkable advancement in vision correction, designed to replace the eye’s natural lens, which may have become clouded due to cataracts or affected by age-related changes that hinder focusing ability. During the seamless process of cataract surgery or Refractive Lens Exchange, the natural lens is gently removed, and the TruPlus lens is expertly implanted within the eye, becoming a permanent and integral part of your visual system. Patients often express their appreciation for this innovative solution, as it not only enhances functional vision but also significantly reduces the chances of experiencing visual disturbances such as halos, glare, or diminished contrast sensitivity.
Key Features and Functionality:
- Design: An enhanced monofocal IOL that leverages Opti-Balance technology to slightly extend the depth of focus in the center of the lens.
- Best For: Patients who prioritize pristine, high-definition distance vision and want excellent clarity for activities like driving and watching television, without the visual side effects associated with trifocals.
- Considerations: While intermediate vision is better than a standard monofocal, patients will usually still need reading glasses for close-up tasks.
