Let Dr. Alexander help you get rid of those reading glasses/bifocals/trifocals and live a glasses-free life with clear vision!

PermaClear®: Restoring Youthful Vision

For people who have been told they aren't good candidates for LASIK, or for those with age-related presbyopia, AEI offers an excellent alternative – PermaClear® Sight Restoration.

As people get older, the lenses of their eyes begin to lose elasticity and become less able to change focus or accommodate, a condition known as presbyopia. This especially impacts close-up vision so that most people find they need reading glasses or bifocals around the age of 45. Since presbyopia is caused by the aging of the lens, not the shape of the cornea or eye, it cannot be corrected by LASIK.

PermaClear® Benefits and Advantages

When you choose PermaClear, you can be sure you're getting a number of advantages over traditional LASIK and mono-vision techniques:

• PermaClear® is the ideal choice for people who don't qualify for LASIK or who have age-related presbyopia.
  
• PermaClear® provides crisp, clear vision at all distances (near, far and in between)
  
• PermaClear® offers long-term vision improvement
  
• PermaClear® may allow you to see colors in a more vibrant manner
  
• PermaClear® often results in increased reading stamina
  
• PermaClear® permanently eliminates the risk of ever getting cataracts

"The beauty of PermaClear® is in its name – it's permanently clear for the rest of your life."
— Avery D. Alexander, M.D.

PermaClear Sight restoration is quick and virtually painless

PermaClear® Sight Restoration is an exciting procedure performed exclusively at Alexander eye Institute in which Dr. Alexander replaces the eye's aging lens with a specially designed intraocular lens that lets you see clearly near, far and everywhere in between. Based on the same procedure that has been used successfully to treat numerous cataracts Appleton / Green bay patients, PermaClear® can restore your youthful vision whether you are nearsighted, farsighted or presbyopic.

Like LASIK, PermaClear® is performed using numbing eye drops. The new lens is inserted through a micro-fine, self-sealing incision in the cornea which heals quickly without stitches. In most cases, the improvement in vision is noticeable the very same day - and it is permanent because the new lens never needs to be replaced. Another advantage of PermaClear® is that you'll never need cataract surgery since the new intraocular lens can not develop a cataract. Best of all, after PermaClear® most people never need to wear glasses again - even for reading.

In the hands of a highly experienced surgeon like Dr. Alexander, PermaClear® can restore full functional vision and, in many cases, eliminate your need for glasses and contacts. So you can see and be seen at your best!

The Multifocal Lens

The right lens for the best outcome. That's what PermaClear® Sight Restoration is all about. And that's why Dr. Alexander chooses the best multifocal lens for each patient. The Alcon Lens was one of the first intraocular lenses developed to correct vision at all distances. Previous lenses could only correct for near or far vision, often leaving patients with the need to wear glasses at least half of the time. People who chose this "monovision" option may have had trouble adjusting. With PermaClear, patients who receive ReSTOR in Green Bay / Appleton don't have to put up with the disorienting effects of mono-vision ever again.

In addition to performing PermaClear refractive lens exchange in Appleton / Green Bay, Dr. Alexander specializes in advanced forms of laser eye surgery, including UltraSight LASIK and PRK. He also has extensive experienced performing conductive keratoplasty and is regarded as a foremost Appleton and Green Bay CK surgeon.
