Discover Vision Centers Announces Full FocusTM Vision

Forty-something’s can now say goodbye to bifocals and reading glasses. A new surgical technology offered by Discover Vision Centers – Full Focus™ – restores vision for people in their 40’s who wear bifocals and reading glasses, allowing them to see like they did in their 20’s and 30’s.

The accommodating intraocular lens functions like the natural eye, automatically focusing at various distances. Prior to this new technology, patients receiving standard intraocular lenses were only able to see clearly at a single distance, making it necessary to wear correction for intermediate and near vision.

Dr. John Doane, a refractive Surgeon at Discover Vision Centers, was the single largest implanter of this accommodative lens in the FDA clinical trials in the United States and was the first to perform this surgery in the Mid-West.

This is a great day for patients in their 40’s and older who are tired of wearing reading glasses, said Doane. The Full Focus surgical technique is the first procedure that will allow people to see objects close up, objects faraway, and everything in between without the aid of glasses or contacts, added Doane.
