If you have become visually impaired over time or are thinking about cataract surgery, multifocal lenses may be the solution. Recently, there has been an increased interest in Jenkintown multifocal implants, which will provide you with enhanced vision at all distances.
Multifocals are similar to other intraocular lenses (IOLs), but they have three or more different focusing powers instead of just one. Also known as “premium” lenses, because of their cost, multifocal lenses are larger than other IOLs because the different powers require more lens material to accommodate them, making these implants thicker and irregular in shape.
The following are several reasons why you should consider multifocal implants:
Your Quality of Life
When you become visually impaired, it can affect your quality of life and limit you from doing certain activities that you once enjoyed. If you are still relatively young and active, multifocal lenses may allow you to stay independent and enjoy your favorite hobbies. They permit good distance vision and enhanced vision at close range, doing reading and watching television easier. You can enjoy physical pursuits such as golfing, biking, and gardening by focusing on objects at a distance as well as those that are close.
Cataracts
If you have cataracts that are causing blurry vision or having trouble with your near vision, multifocal lenses may be the solution for you. Cataract surgery is one of the most common types of eye surgery performed today. With this procedure, the clouded lens within your eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens called a phacoemulsification IOL. Multifocal lenses are designed to work better than standard monofocals. They will provide you with enhanced vision at all distances because of three separate focusing points rather than just one, making it easier for your vision to be corrected for near and intermediate ranges.
Near and Intermediate Ranges
Standard monofocal lenses provide excellent long-range vision but do not offer adequate near-range correction. If you have to struggle with reading glasses or bifocals, multifocals can be your solution; their design permits long-distance vision as well as enhanced near and intermediate ranges. With a three-point focus, near and intermediate ranges are easier to adjust. As a result, even though you have presbyopia (the inability to see objects up close), multifocals should provide good focusing power for reading.
Ease of Use
Multifocal lenses are designed so that they can be easily adapted to your lifestyle. They are implanted in your eye and will not interfere with your daily activities. The multifocal lens implant is placed inside your eye while you are numbed with local anesthesia, similar to cataract surgery. After the procedure has been performed, there is no difference between having multifocals and monofocals; however, if you choose this option for better vision, you will not have to worry about taking your glasses off at night or continually adjusting them throughout the day.
If you find yourself struggling with monofocal implants and your activities are limited, multifocals may be the solution for you. Multifocals allow individuals to enjoy their daily activities such as reading, watching television, cooking in the kitchen, or playing golf without relying on eyeglasses or contact lenses. They provide enhanced vision at all distances, which means you won’t have to deal with the hassle of constantly adjusting your glasses or contact lenses.
