What You Can Expect from LASIK Surgery: Real Patient Stories
June 30, 2025Ready to see life in focus? We’re excited to now offer Alcon’s PanOptix Pro Lens—an advanced trifocal option for patients having cataract surgery. This lens is designed to provide high quality vision and reduce your need for glasses and contacts after surgery, so you can get back to enjoying the things you love with greater clarity.
If you’re considering cataract surgery and are exploring advanced options, this lens might be a great fit for your lifestyle!
What Are Trifocal Lenses and How Can They Improve Your Vision?
If you’ve been told you need cataract surgery —or you’re doing your homework before your appointment—you’ve likely come across different types of lens options. One of those is a trifocal lens, a type of intraocular lens (IOL) used in cataract surgery to help you see at three distances: near, intermediate, and far. Unlike traditional monofocal lenses, which only focus on one distance (typically far vision), trifocal lenses allow you to see more clearly at various ranges without constantly needing glasses or contacts. They’re ideal for people with an active lifestyle who want more visual freedom, whether you’re reading a book, working on a computer, or driving.
Thinking About Cataract Surgery? Here’s Why Patients Love the PanOptix Pro Lens
When it comes to restoring clear vision after cataract surgery, the lens you choose can make a big difference in your day-to-day life. The PanOptix Pro Lens is an advanced option designed to offer more than just the basics—it’s built to help you get the most out of your vision after surgery.
One of the things that makes this lens stand out is how efficiently it uses light. It directs about 94% of the light that enters your eye exactly where it’s needed, helping create sharp, vibrant vision—even in dim lighting. That also means less scattered light, which may reduce those frustrating visual effects like glare, halos, or starbursts that some people notice after surgery.
Maybe most reassuring of all? The majority of patients who’ve chosen this lens say they’d do it again and would recommend it to a friend. That kind of real-world feedback goes a long way when you’re weighing your options.
Bringing Advanced Vision Options to You
We’re proud to be one of the first practices in the country to offer the PanOptix Pro Lens. As cataract technology evolves, we remain committed to bringing advanced solutions to our patients, because clearer vision can make all the difference.
Dr. Gary Wörtz, one of our surgeons, was among the first in the U.S. to implant this new lens. In this video, he shares his early experience and why this lens is an exciting step forward for patients considering cataract surgery.
