If you are over 40 years old, you may have noticed your near/reading vision starting to change. It may become increasingly difficult to read without bright light or you may run into the problem where your “arms aren’t long enough!” Everyday we see many patients who have had “better than 20/15 vision” most of their […]
Okay….it is VERY important to understand that this lens is unlike any others that have come before it. It is truly revolutionary. With that comes different insertion and removal techniques.
