Advanced Technology Cataract IOLs
PanOptix Pro Trifocal Lens
Now, Desert Vision Center is proud to offer the next evolution: the PanOptix® Pro. Building on the trusted legacy of the original PanOptix lens, the PanOptix Pro introduces a new level of clarity and visual comfort. With enhanced ENLIGHTEN® NXT Optical Technology, PanOptix® Pro delivers:
- Unparalleled visual clarity at all distances
- Improved contrast sensitivity, especially in challenging lighting conditions
- Reduced glare, halos, and starbursts for a smoother visual experience
- The highest light utilization of any trifocal lens, maximizing sharpness and minimizing image distortion
PanOptix® Pro is best suited for patients who want the most complete vision solution available – seeing clearly at all distances with reduced dependence on glasses for both distance and reading tasks.
Dr. Tokuhara continues his tradition of bringing cutting-edge technology to the desert community by being among the first surgeons in the nation to offer this powerful new lens. In June 2025, he was the first surgeon in Coachella to perform the PanOptix® Pro lens.
Vivity Lens
Dr. Tokuhara was the first eye surgeon in the Coachella Valley to implant the Vivity Lens in 2020 and among the earliest in the United States to offer this innovative option. At Desert Vision Center, patients considering cataract surgery have access to the latest lens technology, with a personalized consultation to explore whether the Vivity Lens aligns with their vision needs and lifestyle.
Toric Lens
Toric Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implant for Astigmatism and Cataracts
Toric intraocular lens (IOL) implants are premium cataract surgery options specifically designed for patients with moderate to severe astigmatism. These specialized lenses effectively correct both cataracts and manage astigmatism, offering improved distance vision and reducing dependence on glasses for activities such as driving.
While toric lenses provide excellent clarity for distance vision, patients typically still require reading glasses for near tasks like reading or computer work. At Desert Vision Center, Dr. Tokuhara helps patients explore whether toric lens implants are the right choice for their individual vision goals through comprehensive cataract surgery consultations.
Monovision
Monovision Cataract Surgery
Monovision is a cataract surgery option where one eye is corrected primarily for distance vision and the other eye for near vision. This alternative to multifocal lens implants helps patients reduce their dependence on glasses for everyday activities like driving, reading, and computer use.
Monovision is typically best suited for patients who have already successfully adapted to this approach through prior experience with contact lenses or refractive surgery such as LASIK. Such patients tend to have an easier adjustment period after cataract surgery and greater satisfaction with their vision results.
At Desert Vision Center, Dr. Tokuhara works closely with each patient to evaluate their unique vision needs and lifestyle to determine if monovision cataract surgery is a suitable choice.
- Significantly reduces reliance on glasses for both distance and near tasks
- Generally well tolerated by patients with previous monovision experience
- Offers a simple, effective alternative to multifocal lens implants
- Can improve overall quality of life by enhancing everyday visual function
Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery
Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery
Femtosecond laser cataract surgery is a state-of-the-art technique that uses precise laser technology to assist in cataract removal and lens implantation. This advanced approach enhances the safety, accuracy, and predictability of cataract surgery, often resulting in faster visual recovery and improved outcomes.
At Desert Vision Center, Dr. Tokuhara utilizes the LenSx® femtosecond laser system combined with premium intraocular lenses such as the Vivity Lens to tailor cataract surgery to each patient’s unique vision goals and lifestyle.
- Highly precise corneal incisions and capsulotomy for improved surgical accuracy
- Reduced ultrasound energy required to break up the cataract, leading to gentler treatment
- Potential for better lens positioning and visual outcomes
- Shorter recovery times and less inflammation compared to traditional methods
