TECNIS Eyhance™ IOL in Fort Worth & Colleyville, TX
The TECNIS Eyhance is an enhanced monofocal lens that keeps the crisp distance vision and low glare of a standard lens while adding better intermediate vision for computers, dashboards, and cooking. Dr. David Truong offers it to cataract patients in Fort Worth, Colleyville, Keller, and the DFW area.
The short answer
What is the TECNIS Eyhance IOL?
The TECNIS Eyhance is a monofocal intraocular lens with a special design that extends focus slightly closer than a standard lens. Like any monofocal, it gives clear distance vision with minimal glare, but it also improves intermediate vision for tasks about arm’s length away, such as a computer screen or the car dashboard.
Made by Johnson & Johnson Vision, it is often described as a “monofocal plus” lens. It is a good middle ground for Fort Worth and Colleyville patients who want sharp, glare-free vision and a little more range, without the trade-offs of a multifocal lens.
How it works
How does the TECNIS Eyhance work?
A standard monofocal lens has the same power across its surface and focuses at one distance. The Eyhance has a subtle, continuous change in power from the edge of the lens toward the center. That small change extends your focus from distance into the intermediate range.
Because the design is refractive, with no diffractive rings, light is not split between separate focal points. That is why the Eyhance keeps the contrast and low glare that patients like about monofocal lenses.
- ✓Monofocal clarity. Sharp distance vision for driving, TV, and outdoor activities.
- ✓Better intermediate. More comfortable vision for screens, cooking, and dashboards.
- ✓Low glare. A visual side-effect profile similar to a standard lens.
Candidates
Who is a good candidate for the Eyhance lens?
The Eyhance suits many cataract patients who value clean, high-contrast vision. It may be a good fit if you:
- ✓Need cataract surgery and want better intermediate vision than a standard lens
- ✓Drive at night and want to keep glare and halos to a minimum
- ✓Are comfortable wearing reading glasses for books, menus, and small print
- ✓Have eye conditions, such as macular changes or glaucoma, that can make multifocal lenses less suitable
- ✓Have astigmatism that can be corrected with the Eyhance Toric II
If your goal is to read without glasses most of the time, a trifocal or EDOF lens may fit better. Dr. Truong will compare the options with you at your exam in Fort Worth or Colleyville.

Surgery and recovery
What to expect with Eyhance cataract surgery
The Eyhance is placed during routine outpatient cataract surgery, one eye at a time. Your eye is numbed with drops, Dr. Truong removes the cloudy natural lens, and the Eyhance is placed permanently in its place. Laser assistance with LensAR is available.
Recovery
Most patients notice brighter, clearer vision within a few days and resume normal routines soon after. You will use prescribed eye drops and return for follow-up visits while your vision settles over the next several weeks.

FAQ
TECNIS Eyhance IOL FAQs
What is the difference between Eyhance and a standard monofocal lens?
Eyhance adds better intermediate vision while keeping monofocal-quality distance vision and low glare. A standard monofocal focuses at one distance, while Eyhance’s design extends focus slightly closer for tasks at arm’s length.
Will I need reading glasses with the Eyhance?
Yes, most patients still use reading glasses for close tasks like books and phones. Eyhance improves intermediate vision, but it is not designed to replace reading glasses for near work.
Does the Eyhance cause halos or glare at night?
Very little. Because it has no diffractive rings, its night vision is similar to a standard monofocal lens, which makes it a good choice for patients who drive at night.
Can the Eyhance correct astigmatism?
Yes, with the TECNIS Eyhance Toric II. It corrects astigmatism during cataract surgery so your distance and intermediate vision stay sharp.
Is Eyhance a good choice if I have other eye conditions?
It can be. Because it does not split light, an enhanced monofocal is often considered for patients with conditions like glaucoma or macular changes, where multifocal lenses may not be ideal. Dr. Truong will advise you based on your exam.
Is the TECNIS Eyhance covered by Medicare?
Medicare covers medically necessary cataract surgery, and your total cost depends on your coverage and chosen options. Our team reviews your costs and financing before surgery.
