Clear, continuous vision at distance and intermediate ranges, without heavy reliance on glasses. At Lotus Vision, Dr. Nemi offers the Tecnis PureSee™ EDOF lens to help cataract patients see more of life, more clearly.
Clearer Vision Starts with the Right Lens
For patients with cataracts who want lasting visual freedom, choosing the right intraocular lens matters. Dr. Ajit Nemi, MD, MBA, board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained cataract surgeon at Lotus Vision, brings an exceptional level of expertise and a genuine commitment to personalized care to every procedure.
As the first cataract surgeon in Georgia to perform surgery with the Light Adjustable Lens, Dr. Nemi has long been at the forefront of advanced IOL technology, and the Tecnis PureSee™ lens represents the next step in that tradition of excellence.
What Is Extended Depth of Focus Technology in Eye Surgery?
During cataract surgery, the eye's clouded natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Standard monofocal lenses correct vision at a single fixed distance, which often means patients still need glasses for other activities.
Extended depth of focus technology takes a different approach. Rather than creating separate focal points, EDOF lenses elongate the eye's focal range, producing smooth, continuous vision across distance and intermediate zones. The result is a more natural visual experience with less dependence on corrective lenses after surgery.
What Is the Tecnis PureSee™ Lens?
The Tecnis PureSee™ is a next-generation EDOF intraocular lens from Johnson & Johnson Vision, designed specifically for patients undergoing cataract surgery who want clear, connected vision across a broad range of distances.
Patients who choose the Tecnis PureSee™ lens can expect functional vision for:
- Distance activities like driving, watching television, and outdoor recreation
- Intermediate tasks like computer use, cooking, and reading dashboards
- Functional near vision for everyday tasks that don't require fine print
Unlike some multifocal lenses, the Tecnis PureSee™ is engineered to minimize halos, glare, and contrast loss, making it a comfortable, high-quality option for patients who spend significant time in varying lighting conditions.
Am I a Good Candidate for the Tecnis PureSee™ Lens?
The Tecnis PureSee™ EDOF lens may be an excellent fit if you:
- Have cataracts that are affecting your daily activities
- Want clear, reliable vision at distance and intermediate ranges
- Use computers, tablets, or other digital devices frequently
- Prefer to reduce the risk of nighttime visual disturbances
- Hope to minimize your dependence on glasses after cataract surgery

What to Expect: Cataract Surgery with the Tecnis PureSee™ Lens
The journey to clearer vision with EDOF technology involves a personalized approach. From your initial evaluation to your final post-operative checkup, our team is dedicated to your safety and visual success.
Your Consultation
The process begins with a comprehensive cataract evaluation at Lotus Vision. Dr. Nemi will assess your eye health, measure your visual needs, and review your lifestyle to determine whether the Tecnis PureSee™ lens is the right choice for you. Cost, insurance coverage, and financing options will also be discussed at this visit.
The Procedure
Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed procedures in medicine. During the procedure, Dr. Nemi gently removes the cloudy natural lens using advanced microsurgical techniques and places the Tecnis PureSee™ IOL. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under topical anesthesia and intravenous sedation, and typically takes less than 10 minutes per eye.
Recovery and Results
Most patients notice meaningful improvement in their vision within the first few days after surgery. Full healing generally takes several weeks, during which time the eye continues to adjust and stabilize. Dr. Nemi and the Lotus Vision team provide dedicated post-operative care throughout your recovery to ensure the best possible outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tecnis PureSee™ the same as a multifocal lens?
No. The Tecnis PureSee™ is an EXTENDED DEPTH OF FOCUS TECHNOLOGY lens, which provides a smooth, elongated focal range rather than separate focal zones. This design tends to produce fewer visual disturbances than traditional multifocal lenses.
Will I still need glasses after surgery?
Many patients experience significantly reduced dependence on glasses, especially for distance and intermediate tasks. Some individuals may still prefer reading glasses for very small print.
Is cataract surgery painful?
Cataract surgery is typically painless. Numbing eye drops and mild sedation are used to keep patients comfortable throughout the procedure.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days. Complete healing can take several weeks as the eye fully adjusts to the new lens.
Does insurance cover the Tecnis PureSee™ lens?
Standard cataract surgery is typically covered by Medicare and most insurance plans. Premium lenses like the Tecnis PureSee™ may involve an additional out-of-pocket cost. The Lotus Vision team will walk you through your specific coverage and payment options during your consultation.
