Pricing
The best way to find out exactly what your price will be is to schedule an exam. After a comprehensive evaluation to determine what procedures you're a candidate for and what degree of correction you need, you may meet with Allison Alexander, our Refractive Coordinator, who will be able to give you a specific price.
A few insurance companies do pay for all or part of vision correction procedures. You can check with your plan administrator, or we will be happy to make a copy of your insurance card and check coverage for you. Many people have medical flex plans they use to save up to 50 percent on their procedure by using pre-tax dollars.
Here at Charlotte Ophthalmology, we are proud to offer the latest exciting technologies available to our patients with cataracts. The advanced technology lens implants we offer can provide a full range of vision, from near to far, without the need for glasses or bifocals. Drs. Branner, Vaziri and Whiteside are giving Charlotteans great vision and the opportunity to be glasses free! These multifocal lens implants include the AcrySof® ReSTOR® and the Tecnis Multifocal lenses.
How Does the AcrySof® ReSTOR® Lens Work?
The AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens is a breakthrough because it corrects cataracts with or without 
presbyopia. Presbyopia is the reason many patients need reading glasses as their eyes age. In fact, 4 out of 5 patients in the supporting clinical study who had the AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens in both eyes reported NEVER having to wear glasses.
The AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens is also a breakthrough because, unlike traditional monofocal intraocular lens implants (IOL), it’s a multifocal IOL, designed to restore your full range of vision without the need for glasses, from the pages of a book, to your computer screen, to scenic landscapes. As the name implies, monofocal lenses can only give you clear distance vision–you still need reading glasses.
What’s the Reaction of Patients who have Experienced the AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens?
Patients are so pleased with their vision, nearly 94% of the patients in the supporting clinical study said they would have the AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens implanted again. Given the simplicity of the procedure and the life-changing results, many wish they’d acted sooner. For more information, please call our office or go to http://www.acrysofrestor.com
