Monofocal lenses will give you good vision at one distance, hence the name ‘mono-focal’. Most people choose to see well for distance vision but will require glasses for close up activities such as reading. If you are passionate about close up tasks such as needle work or painting, you may choose monofocal lenses that allow you to see well close up but you will require glasses for distance.
Trifocal lenses have three distances of focus, providing a combination of improved near, intermediate and distance vision.
Trifocal IOL’s represent the most advanced technology in vision correction. They allow the highest level of independence from glasses, enabling patients to see clearly at all three distances. Over 80% of patients who select trifocal lenses are completely free from glasses after surgery.
The lens simulator allows you to see how your vision will be affected by the various lens options available to you. From the top tabs, select the description that best matches your current prescription. The image below will represent your own vision (For example, you will see that when you select ‘short sighted’ from the top tabs, the ‘pre-surgery’ image will show that the objects in the fore ground are focused but those in the distance are blurry). You can then select the various lens options so understand how your vision will be affected post surgery.
