How Will You See With Each Lens? Compare for Yourself.

During cataract surgery, your cloudy natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens implant (IOL). Different lens types trade off distance, computer, and reading vision, and they behave differently around lights at night. Select a lens below and switch between daytime and night driving to compare. The simulations reflect published clinical data on today's lenses.

Astigmatism correction: Corrected (toric)
Standard Monofocal  ·  Daytime
DISTANCE: street, signs, driving INTERMEDIATE: computer (~2 ft) NEAR: phone (~14 in)

This simulator is an educational approximation based on published clinical and optical bench data for current-generation lens implants. Individual results vary with pupil size, eye health, and healing. It is not a guarantee of your visual outcome. Dr. Driver will help you choose the lens that fits your eyes and lifestyle. This page is for education and is not a substitute for a medical evaluation.
