ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTRAOCULAR LENS DISCLOSURE AND CONSENT FORM
The purpose of this notice is to help you make an informed choice about whether you want to receive these items or services. Insurance does not cover Advanced Technology Intraocular Lenses. You are financially responsible for any copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles as well as any non-covered items and services
After determining if you are a good candidate for an advanced technology intraocular lens (IOL), your doctor may recommend one to you, but ultimately the decision to opt for an advanced technology IOL is yours. Based on the information provided on the cataract consent form and given the different IOL options available to you the decision is yours to make; it is optional. The major difference between cataract surgery with a traditional IOL versus cataract surgery with an advanced technology IOL is the degree of dependence on eyeglasses thereafter. Implantation of advanced technology IOL does not guarantee that you will be 100% free from glasses.
