There are various types of IOLs that can be used to replace your natural lens after a cataract. A standard monofocal intraocular lens provides clear vision at a specific distance. These lenses offer an overall improvement in clarity and function, but reading glasses are almost always necessary for near vision. There are premium lens options to be considered in order to avoid the need for eyeglasses. Learn more about the advantages of premium intraocular lens below or on our website: https://bit.ly/33vIvP5

Update regarding Hurricane Sally: Our Mobile and Pensacola offices are OPEN. Our Foley and Fairhope offices are CLOSED due to power outages. We will update everyone as soon as power is restored for those locations. We hope everyone is staying safe and recovering quickly.
