Question: What is the difference between
aspheric lens implants and Alcon lens Implants for cataract surgery. Which is
better with glaucoma?
Answer: Aspheric lens implants are
manufactured by a number of lens implant companies including Alcon. Each
aspheric lens design is slightly different, but each is designed to correct
aberrations and provide good distance vision after cataract surgery. The
manufacturer selected is a preference of your cataract surgeon depending on
their surgical technique and the anatomical features of your eyes. Thus, if you
have glaucoma and there are specific characteristics of the inner structures of
your eye they might choose one manufacturer over another-it is NOT your
choice-ask your cataract surgeon.
