Premium Cataract Surgery
OC Surgical specializes in offering a premium cataract surgery experience by providing the most state-of-the-art, safe and affordable technology, unsurpassed patient care, and outstanding results.
A cataract develops as part of the normal aging process. It is very normal to develop cataracts as part of the normal aging process. But as they worsen, they can seriously interfere with many of the activities that people enjoy. Thankfully the solution is simple: surgical removal of your clouded lens and restoring your vision with a clear, intraocular lens.
Nowadays you have more choices than ever before. During your consultation with the surgeons at OC Surgical they will discuss with you options. Some of those options include electing to have a premium lens implant or a traditional monofocal implant. The latest advancements in intraocular lens (IOL) can not only relieve you of cataracts but also help you see near, far, and everywhere in between, with reduced or zero dependence on glasses or contacts.
Along with the advanced technology IOLs, OC Surgical offers a safe and innovative alternative to traditional cataract surgery: All-laser cataract surgery. This cutting-edge technique is incredibly precise, giving our patients peace of mind throughout their procedure. It can also be customized for each individual, offering a broader range of options for better vision. Laser cataract surgery is unique because it uses the same bladeless technology that has been employed for more than a decade with LASIK. This procedure provides unprecedented precision and predictability.
With your lifestyle IOL and laser cataract procedure in place, you are on your way to a quick recovery and amazing visual results.
If you’ve been told you have cataracts, you owe it to yourself to call us at (714) 647-1200 to book your exam with our team of cataract experts today.
Clareon® PanOptix® Lens IOL
What is the PanOptix® Lens Implant?
The PanOptix® intraocular lens (IOL) is the first trifocal lens implant in the United States approved by the FDA in August 2019.
The implant is made of a biocompatible material and is designed to mimic the natural focusing abilities of the eye. It is inserted through a small incision in the front of the eye and placed in the same position as the natural lens.
The Panoptix® lens implant has three focal points: one for distance vision, one for intermediate vision, and one for near vision. This allows it to provide a more natural range of vision and reduces the need for glasses or contact lenses after surgery.
How Does the PanOptix® Lens Work?
The Panoptix® lens works by diffracting light rays to different focal points so that patients can achieve vision at three different distances – distance, intermediate, and near.
The lens is manufactured with an array of concentric rings that split up incoming light rays to result in the trifocal effect. The rings simultaneously present the eye with three focal points. Therefore, unlike a pair of bifocal glasses, patients with PanOptix® lenses are not required to look up or down when choosing distance or near vision.
When placed and centered within a patient’s capsular bag the lens is designed to stay for a lifetime.
How Does the PanOptix® Multifocal Lens Differ from Other Multifocal Implants?
The PanOptix® is the first trifocal lens implant in the United States. Bifocal lens implants only provide patients with two focal points. With bifocal lens implants, some patients would notice that they had good distance and near vision, but were lacking in the intermediate range. This intermediate range vision can be quite important for many people. Intermediate range vision includes the computer range, dashboard of the car, and kitchen countertop.
Does the PanOptix® Trifocal Lens Work Like Trifocal Glasses?
In contrast to a pair of typical bifocal or progressive glasses, the PanOptix® implant does not behave the same way. Patients will be glad to know they no longer need to look down in order to see closer, and there won’t be any distortion when looking left or right that is common with bifocal or trifocal glasses.
Cataracts form gradually as our eyes get older, and 9 in 10 Americans develop them by the time they’re 65.3 The good news is that cataract surgery is one of the safest, most common, and most effective procedures performed today.
Cataract Removal: Through a tiny incision, the surgeon removes your clouded lens
Lens Insertion: The surgeon replaces your original lens with the Clareon PanOptix Lens
Vision Renewed: The Clareon PanOptix Lens allows you to see clearly near to far
Unlike a monofocal intraocular lens, the Clareon® PanOptix® lens gives you a full range of vision, so that you can immerse in a full range of activities — all while relying less on glasses.
Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)
The First and Only Lens That Can Be Adjusted After Surgery
The Light Adjustable Lens is made of a special photosensitive material that changes the shape and power of your implanted lens in response to ultraviolet (UV) light to optimize your vision.
The Light Delivery Device™ (LDD™) non-invasively delivers this UV light to precisely reshape your lens based on the visual correction that is needed to target your custom prescription.
RxSight offers two lenses in the Light Adjustable Lens platform: the Light Adjustable Lens and the Light Adjustable Lens+™. Your doctor will determine the lens that is best suited to your eyes. Both the LAL and LAL+ provide the same opportunity to customize your vision with your doctor after surgery.
Fixed vs. Adjustable Lenses
With other lenses, you have to make a lot of decisions about the vision you want before your cataract surgery. Once implanted, those lenses can’t be changed; they’re what’s known as “fixed.”
The Light Adjustable Lens, however, is an adjustable lens. This means that the only decision you have to make before your surgery is to choose the Light Adjustable Lens. The rest can be made after your surgery once your eye has healed.
You and your surgeon then have the ability to adjust the lens and optimize your vision based on your unique preferences and lifestyle requirements. So you will truly have vision that’s just for you.
What to Expect After Surgery
About three weeks after your cataract surgery, you’ll visit your doctor’s office to begin the light treatments to customize your vision. During these visits, you and your doctor work together to achieve the best possible visual outcome—the vision that’s best for you and your lifestyle.
Studies have shown that patients who received the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) and the recommended post-surgery treatments were almost twice as likely to achieve 20/20 vision or better without glasses compared to cataract patients who have standard lens implants.
Why do I have to wear UV protective glasses?
While your vision is still in the adjustment phase, you will be required to wear glasses that prevent UV light from altering your lens to protect it before the final lock-in.

Do more of what you love, day and night
Cataract surgery is your opportunity to improve your vision from cloudy or blurry to crisp and clear.
At OC Surgical, we believe that clear vision shouldn't be limited to daylight and we strive to improve quality of life after cataract surgery, both day and night. Think about walking downstairs in dim light, or seeing objects in the road when driving at night. These activities can be troublesome, which is why we developed InteliLight.
What is a cataract?
Cataracts form as we age and are caused by a buildup of the eye’s natural protein. The increase in protein causes a cloudiness in the lens of the eye, which is why people with cataracts may experience blurry or dull vision.
Do you have presbyopia?
Presbyopia typically occurs around age 40 and is an age-related loss of the eyes ability to see objects up close. Cataract treatment is an opportunity to correct presbyopia at the time of surgery, with a lens like TECNIS Symfony OptiBlue IOL, which offers a continuous range of vision, from up close to far away, day and night.
Do you have astigmatism?
Astigmatism is when the shape of your eye is more oblong than circular, which can create distorted vision. With TECNIS Symfony OptiBlue IOL astigmatism ca be corrected during cataract surgery resulting in less need for glasses. Talk to your doctor about your astigmatism correction options.
