PRELEX, a multifocal intraocular lens implant (IOL), is an alternative procedure to laser vision correction and other refractive surgical procedures. At the Watkins Eye Center, we use PRELEX to correct vision by replacing the eye's natural lens with a multifocal, intraocular lens of the appropriate power for a given eye length and corneal curvature.

As a multifocal lens implant, PRELEX creates a new visual system inside the eye, one that can provide the focusing power to see near, intermediate and far images with minimal dependence on corrective lenses. The procedure corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness and presbyopia, a progressive condition typically requiring individuals over the age of 40 to use reading glasses.

PRELEX allows our clients to return to their active lifestyles without wearing corrective lenses.

So whether you’re teeing up on a fairway, playing tennis with friends or going for a hike with your family, you’ll be able to see clearly thanks to the innovative Watkins PRELEX.
