Treat Cataracts and Presbyopia
for Optimal Vision
Vivity is an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) designed to treat cataracts and improve vision in patients with presbyopia, offering a wide range of vision from distance to intermediate. It is ideal for those who experience blurred vision due to cataracts or age-related changes in the eye’s ability to focus. The extended depth of focus provides clearer vision while reducing dependence on glasses for daily tasks. At Vantage Eye Consultants, Dr. Nam offers this cutting-edge IOL to patients seeking improved vision and quality of life.
Vivity Treats:
- Cataracts (clouding of the eye’s natural lens, causing blurry or cloudy vision)
- Presbyopia (age-related difficulty in focusing on near objects)
- Blurry vision at various distances (due to cataracts or presbyopia)
- Intermediate vision issues (difficulty seeing objects at arm’s length or for tasks like driving)
How Does Vivity Work?
The Vivity IOL uses advanced technology to provide an extended depth of focus, allowing you to see clearly at both distance and intermediate ranges. Unlike traditional monofocal lenses, which focus on one specific distance, the Vivity lens creates a continuous range of vision. It works by reshaping the way light enters your eye, providing sharp vision across multiple distances, from far to close. This minimizes the need for glasses or reading aids after cataract surgery.
Dr. Nam carefully selects the Vivity IOL for patients with healthy eyes and 20/20 potential, ensuring you receive the best possible outcome. The lens minimizes issues like halos or glare compared to multifocal lenses, providing you with clear vision in various lighting conditions. Whether you’re driving, working on a computer, or enjoying outdoor activities, the Vivity IOL helps you achieve greater visual independence.

Vivity FAQs
How Does Vivity Compare to Traditional Monofocal Lenses?
Vivity differs from monofocal lenses because it provides a broader range of vision, including distance and intermediate vision. Monofocal lenses only focus on one specific distance, typically distance vision, meaning you may still need glasses for tasks like reading or using a computer. Vivity’s extended depth of focus offers continuous clarity, reducing your reliance on glasses.
Can I Expect to See Clearly at All Distances With Vivity?
Vivity is designed to offer excellent distance and intermediate vision. While it significantly reduces the need for glasses, some patients may still need light readers for close-up tasks, such as reading fine print or using a smartphone. It doesn’t provide the same near-vision capabilities as multifocal lenses, but it offers a balanced visual experience across most everyday activities with minimal visual disturbances.
Are There Any Side Effects or Complications With The Vivity IOL?
As with any medical procedure, there can be some potential side effects, though Vivity is generally well tolerated. The most common issue reported by patients is mild nighttime halos or glare, although these are less pronounced compared to multifocal lenses. Some patients may also experience a slight decrease in contrast sensitivity, which could affect vision in low-light conditions, but the benefits of reduced dependency on glasses typically outweigh these issues.
Will I Need Any Additional Procedures After Getting The Vivity IOL?
Most patients who receive the Vivity lens do not require any additional procedures. However, some may need a touch-up, such as LASIK or PRK, to fine-tune their vision after surgery. This is similar to the requirements for other advanced IOLs and is typically a rare occurrence.
