Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) Technology
Like your appearance and the rest of the body, the eyes and vision can change with aging. Cataracts develop when the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy, brown or yellow as protein in the lens breaks down, liquefies, and begins to clump. Presbyopia is a common age-related condition in which the lens hardens and becomes less flexible, reducing the ability of the eye to shift from far to near and vice versa.
Fortunately, advanced technology provides state-of-the-art procedures for age-related eye conditions. Dr. Nemi at Lotus Vision in Alpharetta, Georgia performs eye surgery using Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) technology to remove cataracts and correct presbyopia in one safe, outpatient procedure.
What Is Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) Technology in Eye Surgery?
In a cataract removal procedure, the cloudy natural lens is surgically removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) that allows clearer, sharper images to reach the retina. Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) technology provides a wide range of premium intraocular lenses that offer a broader range of vision, both near and at a distance. In many cases, EDOF technology can reduce or remove the need for glasses or contact lenses after cataract surgery.
