Multifocal Lenses

If you have been determined to be a candidate for presbyopia correction with an intraocular lens, it is important to know the following:

  • This implant is designed to improve both distance and reading vision. A standard implant can only correct distance or reading vision.
  • Medicare and commercial insurance plans do not cover the additional fees related to the correction of presbyopia. In order to achieve the maximum level of visual acuity, additional tests are necessary. The cost of the lens and the cost of these additional procedures will be charged to you.

The additional fees for the correction of presbyopia will be $2,500.00 per eye, for a total of $5,000.00 for both eyes.

The lens fee does not include the surgery center or anesthesia fee.

Services

Professional services will include some or all of the following:

  1. Corneal topography pre-op
  2. Manual keratometry
  3. Peripheral corneal pachymetry
  4. Immersion A-Scan
  5. Post surgical topography
  6. Multiple post surgical refractions and up to 90 days of post op care
  7. Limbal relaxing incision to debulk astigmatism
  8. Measure eye dominance

Should you not be satisfied with your distance vision, LASIK surgery may be necessary to refine the refractive error. Normally, LASIK surgery is $2,500.00 per eye. If required, the fee will be reduced to $1,000.00 per eye.

If you have any questions concerning these non-covered fees, please feel free to call one of our surgical coordinators.
