Self-Assessment Quiz
Cataract surgery is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that provides you the chance to restore your vision based on which intraocular lens you and your eye doctor select. There are lens choices beyond your province standard of care lens and you should balance the costs at time of surgery versus the potential savings on prescription eyewear for the rest of your life. Knowing your lens options empowers you to make an informed decision with your eye doctor about which lens will best suit you and your lifestyle.
