Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a condition where the natural lens of the eye loses it’s elasticity and the eye increasingly struggles to focus on near objects. The initial signs of presbyopia include difficulty seeing in dim light, eyestrain, and challenges focusing on small objects or fine print. Patients first start experiencing presbyopia in their 40s.

Patients can achieve the ability to see both near and far objects with minimal reliance on glasses by undergoing lens replacement surgery with multifocal intraocular lenses.

Cataract

A clouding of the natural lens in the eye is called a cataract. Usually, cataracts start to develop in patients after the ages of 40 to 50, but they can also be noticed in younger patients, mostly caused by trauma.

Humans have a natural lens in the eye that operates similarly to a camera lens, sending images to the brain. If the lens is clouded, patients experience vision regression, where images become blurred and bright colors appear dull. Patients may also experience increased difficulties seeing clearly at night.

Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

Monofocal Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

Monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses implanted during cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange that correct vision at a single focal point, typically for distant vision. While they provide clear vision at one fixed distance (usually far), individuals may still require glasses for activities such as reading or viewing objects up close.

  • One distance (far, intermediate, near).

Multifocal Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are implants used during cataract surgery to address vision at multiple distances, allowing improved near and far vision. They contain different zones or rings with varied powers across the lens surface, reducing the need for glasses for various activities.

  • Near distance: approximately 40cm.

  • Intermediate distance: approximately 80cm.

  • Far: beyond 100cm.
