Apthera™ IOL Cataract Treatment in Greenbelt & Bowie, MD

WHAT IS APTHERA™?

AptheraTM IOL Cataract Treatment: Capture all of life’s moments with the Power of Focused Light.

The AptheraTM IOL is a replacement lens exclusively designed to give you clear, focused vision from near to far, and everything in between.

Dr. Jonathan Solomon is the first in the DMV area to provide the AptheraTM IOL treatment, and now it’s time to take advantage of this exciting medical treatment.

With the AptheraTM IOL, light is naturally focused as it enters your eye and seamlessly expands your range of vision—so you can see people and objects -- even text — across a wide range of focal distances.

The AptheraTM IOL is intended for use in just one eye and is paired with a monofocal or monofocal toric (astigmatism-correcting) IOL in the fellow eye. Your Solomon Eye physician will customize this powerful combination based on your visual and lifestyle needs to help you achieve your personal best vision.

Great service and clear communication and explanations on procedures and pricing. Staff is highly knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. Great customer service all around.

Q.R. Google

I arrived on time but wasn’t told the doctor was running late. Very irritating be waiting and not knowing why. The technician that took me back was very pleasant and apologized for the fact I had waited so long. She was extremely efficient and positive. Dr. Nancy D explained her tardiness and told me she had let her fellow workers know but no one relayed to me. I admit I was very irritated at first but knowing what happened I would have been more understanding.

EDIT 6/11/2026: I ended up speaking with Rebecca, making an appointment to see Dr. Solomon on Friday, June 5 at 10 AM. I didn't get taken back until 10:38, but then the service was really excellent. The tech was great, she was warm, comforting and answered my questions. Dr. Solomon was also incredibly kind, patient, and thorough. He even tried to get me help with other doctors in other fields. It turns out my optic nerve is just fine and my kerotoconus is well managed. This experience made up for the call center communication. I'll be going back for my check up in 6 months. Just minus one for the really long wait.-------------------Got referred here for a thinning optic nerve and keracotonus. The person on the phone couldn't even pronounce my eye issue "kokokonous? kokonus? coconos?" I was then informed, despite the massive dedication on their website to my specific eye disease, that they could not help with keracotonus or my optic nerve, could only do an eye exam and would refer me "out to retina" - I had to ask to speak to a manager to find out what that meant. I wish they would train staff before they release them onto the public because this makes the actual professionals at the practice lose credibility.

Dr. Solomon and his team talks you through everything from the beginning to the end. Even when you have your follow ups. I find he does have humor as well as being there to help you as you are very much nervous. I can see clearly now the clouds are gone. (smiles)
