They are made from biocompatible materials that do not degrade over time, meaning one procedure can provide a lifetime of clear vision.\n<h5>Is the implantation procedure painful?<\/h5>\nNo. Whether performed during cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange, the procedure is minimally invasive. We use numbing drops and twilight sedation to ensure you are completely comfortable. Most patients report feeling only light pressure, and the procedure is typically completed in under 20 minutes.\n<h5>Can I get a premium IOL if I have had LASIK before?<\/h5>\nYes, many patients who had laser vision correction in the past can still receive premium <strong>intraocular lens implants<\/strong>. However, prior LASIK changes the corneal shape, which makes calculating the lens power more complex. Dr. Katzman utilizes advanced mapping technology to ensure accurate measurements for post-LASIK eyes.\n<h5>Does insurance cover premium IOLs?<\/h5>\nGenerally, insurance covers the cost of standard monofocal lenses as part of medically necessary cataract surgery. Premium upgrades\u2014such as those for astigmatism or multifocal vision\u2014are typically considered elective &#8220;lifestyle&#8221; enhancements and incur an out-of-pocket cost.
