If you have cataracts, choosing an intraocular lens (IOL) before the procedure is essential. Patients that want the best possible vision after cataract surgery may consider premium lenses, which can correct refractive errors, along with other vision conditions like presbyopia. At Cookeville Eye Specialists, we offer the following premium lenses:
The Vivity IOL is the first and only non-diffractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens. The premium IOL can treat presbyopia, which occurs when the eye’s natural lens loses flexibility due to aging.
When you have presbyopia, seeing things up close becomes more challenging. The Vivity IOL uses proprietary X WAVE technology to reduce glare while enhancing contrast sensitivity, which makes it easier to see in different lighting conditions, including when it’s very bright or if you’re somewhere dim or poorly lit.
Its extended depth of focus design creates a gradual transition between different focus zones. Patients experience better visual acuity while reducing their dependence on glasses and visual aids after cataract surgery.
The PanOptix trifocal IOL is a trifocal lens, allowing patients to see clearly up close, further away at a distance, and intermediate distances.
In addition to treating cataracts during cataract surgery, the PanOptix trifocal IOL treats refractive errors and presbyopia. The PanOptix lens uses ENLIGHTEN Optical technology that optimizes how much light can reach the retina.
By optimizing how much light reaches the retina, patients with the PanOptix trifocal lens have improved visual acuity and can reduce their dependence on visual aids. The PanOptix IOL uses a diffractive design to split light into several focal points to improve a patient’s ability to see well up close, far away, and distances in between.
A toric IOL is the only IOL specifically designed to correct astigmatism. Astigmatism is a refractive error that occurs when the cornea is an irregular shape, leading to distorted vision.
Toric lenses are a particular shape, compensating for the cornea’s irregular form, and help to eliminate astigmatism and improve a patient’s visual acuity. Other premium lenses like the PanOptix trifocal IOL and the Vivity IOL come in toric models and have different powers to suit patients’ needs.

The Light Adjustable Lens is an innovative and new type of IOL that can be customized to your vision after it’s implanted in your eye during cataract surgery. This lens is unique because it contains tiny light-sensitive particles that can change shape when exposed to a precise type of light. After you’ve healed from cataract surgery with the Light Adjustable Lens, you will return to your eye doctor’s office for a series of light treatment sessions to sharpen and fine-tune your vision.
During these sessions, your eye doctor will use a special light device to shine ultraviolet light onto the implanted lens, altering its curvature and focus ability. The entire light adjustment process to perfect the lens takes just minutes, is completely painless, and happens right in your eye doctor’s office. With this innovative lens that can be reshaped after surgery, you can enjoy customized sharp vision targeted to your unique eye.
