Low-quality evidence also showed that more than 12 months after surgery, there was a compromise in distance vision for people with accommodative IOLs.

Fortunately, in most cases the cataract is removable and vision can be restored with an intraocular lens ("IOL")*.

The following is an overview of premium IOLs currently that are FDA-approved for use by cataract surgeons in the United States.

These are considered "premium" intraocular lenses because they have advanced features beyond those found in basic single vision IOLs that are covered by Medicare and other types of health insurance.

During your preoperative exam and consultation, your cataract surgeon can help you choose the best IOL for your needs, as well as additional cataract surgery costs involved if you choose one of the following premium lens implants.

Traditional intraocular lenses have a spherical optical design, meaning the front surface is uniformly curved from the center of the lens to its periphery.
