Cataract surgery does more than clear a cloudy lens, it also gives you the chance to choose how you see afterwards. The artificial lens implanted during surgery is called an intraocular lens (IOL) and there are different options.
A monofocal IOL is set for one main distance (usually far). Vision is usually sharp for driving and outdoor activities, but many patients still need glasses for reading and near work.
A multifocal IOL is designed with rings or zones that provide focus at more than one distance, which can reduce the need for glasses for both far and near tasks in carefully selected patients.
At AEC, your surgeon will discuss your daily activities, visual priorities and eye measurements to help you choose the lens type that best fits your lifestyle and eye health.
