Clearer Vision, Designed Around Your Life.
Today's intraocular lenses can do far more than restore sight after cataract surgery. Explore the modern lens options Dr. Truong offers — and find the one that fits the way you actually see the world.
A Small Lens.
A Big Difference
in How You See.
An intraocular lens, or IOL, is a clear, custom-selected lens implanted during cataract surgery to replace your eye's natural lens. The lens you choose can shape your vision for years to come — from reading and screen time to driving and being outdoors.
Have astigmatism? Toric versions are available across most lens categories below.
You do not need to know every detail of the technology. You simply need to know how you want to live. Our team will walk you through the options and help guide you toward the lens choice that best fits your vision goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to what we hear most often from patients exploring lens options.
An intraocular lens, or IOL, is a clear, custom-selected lens implanted during cataract surgery to replace your eye's natural lens. The lens you choose can shape your vision for years to come — from reading and screen time to driving and being outdoors.
The right lens depends on how you live, not just how you see. In your consultation we talk through your daily routine — driving, screen time, reading, hobbies — and match a lens that fits the way you actually want to use your vision. There is no single "best" lens, only the best one for you.
Monofocal lenses give crisp vision at one set distance, usually far — readers are still helpful for close-up tasks. Multifocal lenses like PanOptix cover near, intermediate, and far for the broadest reduction in glasses. EDOF lenses like Vivity deliver a smooth, continuous range of focus with cleaner nighttime vision than multifocals.
The Light Adjustable Lens is the only IOL that can be customized after surgery. Once implanted, in-office light treatments are used to fine-tune your prescription until your vision feels exactly right — almost like a "test drive" before your final result is locked in.
Yes. Toric versions are available across most lens categories on this page. They're designed to correct astigmatism at the same time as your cataract, so you get sharper vision without relying on glasses to compensate for it later.
It depends on the lens you choose. Patients with a basic monofocal typically still wear readers for close-up tasks. Monofocal Plus, multifocal, EDOF, and Light Adjustable Lens patients can dramatically reduce their dependence on glasses, and many are glasses-free for most daily activities.
It's a relaxed conversation about your eyes and your life. Dr. Truong examines your eyes, asks about your daily routine and vision goals, and walks you through the lens options that match — no pressure, no jargon. You'll leave with a clear plan.
