Medicare Patients can now have lens implants that correct both near and far vision.
The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery hailed the decision of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to allow Medicare patients access to presbyopia-correcting high technology IOLs following cataract surgery. CMS clarified its payment rules to present beneficiaries with the choice to receive presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs) that not only replace lens clouded by cataracts but also allows the eye to focus on near, intermediate, and far vision, minimizing the need for corrective lens.
Prior to this ruling, limitations on Medicare payment prevented beneficiaries from receiving these lenses. Now beneficiaries who choose to purchase this additional feature will be able to do so.
