A common question from patients having cataract or premium lens replacement surgery is "if I have one implant type in one eye and a different implant type in the second eye, will it work well?

Absolutely! Combining different lens implant designs between the right and left eyes of the same person can and does work well.

We share a patient example who had the panoptix in one eye and the Vivity in the second eye to achieve his best vision without glasses at all distances.

This patient initially had the panoptix lens placed in both eyes. He was unsatisfied with his vision. We then performed an intraocular lens exchange removed his panoptix in one eye and placed a Vivity lens in the eye to help his see the way he wanted. Additionally he noted seeing a persistent dark crescent to the side of his field of vision known as negative dysphotopsia. We treated his negative dysphotopsia with reverse optic capture successfully.
