When it comes to better vision, our EDOF and trifocal intraocular lenses have you covered

Once assessing your lifestyle, visual needs, clinical status and motivation for spectacle independence, we will ascertain whether you are a suitable candidate for multifocal lenses.
  • During lens replacement and cataract surgery, the surgeon removes your eye’s natural lens and replaces it with an intraocular lens (IOL), a type of artificial lens.
  • Unlike a standard monofocal lens, a multifocal lens is designed to give you good near, intermediate and distance vision, potentially allowing patients the benefit of avoiding the need for glasses.
  • Etched onto the surface of the multifocal lens are concentric rings, which allow images at a variety of distances to focus on the retina.
Advantages:
  • More freedom to live actively. Multifocal IOLs allow you to see multiple points of focus, improving near, intermediate, and far-distance vision. For many, after lenses are implanted, patients no longer require glasses.
  • The reduced lifetime cost of glasses and contacts. Multifocal IOLs can decrease your need for reading glasses or computer glasses after cataract surgery.
  • No upkeep or routine replacement is necessary. The results of multifocal IOLs are long-lasting. Unlike contacts, multifocal IOLs are implanted inside the eye and don’t require any additional care or routine replacement.
Disadvantages:
  • Difficulty seeing at close distances. Sometimes, this is an issue for people with multifocal IOLs. However, reading glasses usually correct this problem. Some models of multifocal lenses focus on intermediate vision and distance, requiring reading glasses for closely held reading material, while others focus on close near vision, requiring glasses for intermediate vision.
  • Night vision, halos, and glares. Some patients develop halos and glares surrounding lights after dark, as well as reduced nighttime vision. However, for most patients this fades over time, with about one per cent having persistent night vision complaints, occasionally requiring the exchange of the lens.
There is a risk associated with all eye surgeries including not obtaining the desired result. Your eye surgeon will explain these risks and benefits in your preoperative assessment.
There’s a wide variety of IOLs to choose from, but what’s best for you depends on several factors, including your lifestyle and your specific visual needs.

Surgery for multifocal lenses is performed in exactly the same way as normal cataract surgery.

In selecting your multifocal lens, we discuss your hobbies and activities and help you select the lens that best meets your lifestyle.

The lenses we offer include EDOF and trifocal intraocular lenses.

Step one: Preoperative consultation
Step two: Lens selection
Step three: Lens implantation and orientation
Step four: Postoperative consultation

Though it may take time for patients to adapt to their IOLs, these lenses make a lasting, positive impact on thousands of lives every year with many IOL patients finding they can be glasses-free or only occasionally needing glasses for reading small print following surgery.

Your vision is yellowing and hazy
