Do I want or need a multifocal lens after cataract surgery?

The greatest advantage of multifocal or trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) lies in their ability to provide a patients with excellent vision at multiple distances simultaneously, while reducing and in some cases even eliminating the need for glasses after cataract surgery. Unlike traditional monofocal lenses, multifocal IOLs can correct near, intermediate, and distance vision, offering greater freedom and convenience in daily activities, especially while reading at intermediate distances for example activities like using your iPad or laptop and near activities such as reading your book or on your smartphone. This versatility allows individuals to enjoy improved vision across a range of distances, enhancing their overall quality of life and giving them independence from the use of spectacles With multifocal IOLs, patients experience less dependence on corrective eyeglasses, facilitating them in engaging in various activities with greater clarity and comfort.
