Extended vision cataract surgery is a surgical option available through our clinic. Extended vision lenses are intended to expand the range of focus possible after cataract surgery.
Extended vision cataract surgery is chosen by those who would prefer not to wear glasses for distance and intermediate tasks but are happy to put on a pair of glasses for near tasks such as reading.
Glasses will still need to be worn for certain tasks, but less frequently than may occur when standard monofocal lenses are used.

The method of cataract removal is the same as that used in standard and premium cataract surgery. It is the difference in the technology of the lens, that enables a broader range of vision.
After extended vision cataract surgery, our surgeon will have removed your cataracts and aimed to significantly reduced your spectacle dependence.
The latest implant technology provides a broad range of vision which enables patients to see clearly and confidently for many of the tasks and activities that they love to do.
Our patients report that the colour and clarity of their vision following cataract surgery is reminiscent of their youthful vision. Often, they report that they had forgotten how vibrant and beautiful sunsets can be.
Cataracts degrade your vision, and patients report this makes them less confident in their favourite activities. Once your cataracts are removed you will worry less about how poor vision may hold you back or stop you doing the things you love.
Extended vision cataract surgery recaptures some of the range of your youthful vision as your need for spectacles is reduced and your confidence and freedom increased. Patients report this broad range of vision improves all aspects of their daily life.
It is important that you choose a surgery option that is best suited for your individual needs. Please contact our practice to learn more.
