Cataract Surgery — Bifocal Lens

Multifocal lenses used in cataract surgery

Cataract Surgery are prostheses placed inside the eye to provide clear near and distance vision. These are called bifocal smart lenses . Bifocal lensescorrect ametropia (short-sightedness) and near-vision problems (presbyopia), making clear near and distance vision without glasses possible.Multifocal lenses are generally preferred for patients over 50 who have cataracts or refractive errors too high for laser eye surgery.

How does cataract-related vision loss occur?

In particular, cataract progression may cause age-related vision loss of varying severity, generally after age 60. Even if you are unsure whether it is due to a cataract problem, you may still be suitable for lens replacement surgery. This operation replaces your natural lens with an artificial one. The decision must be made carefully before surgery.

Implanting an unsuitable lens may cause permanent side effects, including poor visual quality, glare and night-time dazzling. Patients with myopia who do not have a cataract must be especially careful when deciding whether to undergo lens replacement. It is a medical fact that patients with hyperopia receiving monofocal, trifocal or Bifocal lenses tend to be more satisfied with treatment. Our doctors will provide the most appropriate information following your examination.

Cataract surgery is a relatively straightforward treatment.

With advances in technology, cataract surgery uses phacoemulsification technology. Our doctors’ experience and use of new technologies allow patients to undergo surgery confidently. Lens replacement is very safe and is a common procedure at our hospital.

Why is lens selection important in cataract surgery?

In cataract surgery, there are many lens manufacturers to choose from. At our hospital, we research the characteristics of all manufacturers and select the most appropriate option for each patient. The manufacturer’s country of origin is not the main priority. The important point is to identify the most suitable lens for your eye through measurements.

Our experienced specialist doctors will select the most appropriate lens for your eye.
