Cataracts: How Do I Know If I Am at Risk?
The older you are, the more likely you are to develop cataracts, but other factors can also play a role. Here are some of the risk factors for cataracts and steps you can take to reduce your risk.
AcrySof® IQ Vivity™ now available at Cataract and Vision Center of Hawaii
Dr. Brandon Lee and Dr. Daniel Choi are excited to now offer the AcrySof ® IQ Vivity TM lens – the first and only non-diffractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) for cataract patients in the U.S.
The standard cataract replacement lens, which is also called a monofocal lens,
allows you to see far away. The Vivity™ lens allows you to see clearly far away and at
arm’s length while still providing functional vision up close.
In a clinical study, patients were asked about their experience 6 months after having
the Vivity™ lens implanted and the majority reported renewed vision and lifestyle benefits:
- 94% reported good or very good vision far away without glasses in bright light.
- 92% reported good or very good vision at arm’s length without glasses in bright light.
- 90% were satisfied with their results and would get the lens again.
- 93% would recommend the lens to a family member or friend compared to 84% for monofocal.
Vivity™ helps patients see more clearly and can offer patients some spectacle
independence, allowing patients to engage in lifestyle activities and hobbies with more
ease.
