AMO Tecnis Intraocular Lens Implant

The Tecnis Intraocular lens is a premium IOL that provides the sharpest vision available, similar to a high-definition TV, compared to a traditional or older-style intraocular lens implant.

This is particularly true for night vision. While traditional monofocal IOLs provide good distance vision in bright-light conditions, you may still have difficulties seeing at night or in other low-light situations.

The Tecnis Lens has been SCIENTIFICALLY shown to provide better contrast compared to a traditional IOL, which is important for night driving. The Tecnis lens has an FDA-approved claim that vision with it is better in a night-driving simulator performance. The Tecnis is the ONLY lens with an FDA-approved claim for improved functional, or real-world, vision. The Tecnis works by an advance in design called aspheric lens technology. By providing better night vision, your safety and that of others on the road is enhanced. The Tecnis is suitable for all patients except those that have had hyperopic LASIK.

Because the Tecnis lens costs a hospital more to stock, not all surgery centers will offer this lens. Dr. Shechter and the staff and administration at The Surgery Center at Limerick/CHS Health System strongly believe that every patient is entitled to the best vision possible. Thus we are able to offer this lens to all patients except as above. The lens is covered by most insurance plans with no extra out-of-pocket charge.
