    EXPERIENCE

    Multifocal IOL is a breakthrough in lens implant surgery. Over five million lens implant procedures are performed worldwide each year. Until recently, most of these procedures have involved the exchange of the natural lens inside the eye for a single vision [monofocal] lens. In the past few years, hundreds of thousands of people who are candidates for the Multifocal IOL have enjoyed a full range of vision with independence from glasses.

    Single Vision Monofocal Lenses

    With traditional single vision monofocal lenses, most people experience very good vision after surgery at a single focal point - either near or at a distance. In most cases, surgeons calculate the power of the monofocal lens to provide good distance vision for driving, walking and everyday activities. However, most people receiving single vision monofocal lenses require reading glasses or bifocals to provide a full range of vision.

    Multifocal IOL

    The Multifocal IOL was designed to provide a full range of vision with independence from glasses in most situations. While distance vision with the Multifocal IOL is similar to that of a single vision monofocal lens, near vision is usually much better and about 19 in 20 people with Multifocal IOL report wearing glasses only occasionally or never.
