Multifocal lens surgery in Adana

What is multifocal Lens Implant (Smart Lens)?

In smart lens (multifocal or trifocal intraocular lens) surgery, the eye’s natural lens is removed through a small incision, as in cataract surgery, and replaced with an artificial lens that focuses at several distances. It is used for people with cataracts and for those over about 45 who want to be free of reading glasses. Special lenses can also correct astigmatism.

How is multifocal Lens Implant (Smart Lens) done?

1. Detailed eye examination and lens power calculation (biometry)
2. Numbing drops and light sedation if needed
3. Removing the natural lens with ultrasound (phacoemulsification)
4. Placing the multifocal lens
5. Check-up the next day; the other eye is usually done within days to weeks

Who is multifocal Lens Implant (Smart Lens) suitable for?

• People with cataracts who want to reduce dependence on glasses
• People over about 45 with reading problems who want to be free of glasses
• Not suitable for some retinal diseases, advanced glaucoma or very irregular corneas

Aftercare: what to watch out for

• Use the prescribed drops regularly and do not rub your eyes.
• Avoid heavy lifting, swimming and dusty places for the first weeks.
• Halos around lights at night are common at first and usually lessen as the brain adapts.

Possible side effects and risks

• Glare and halos at night
• Reduced contrast in some people
• Clouding behind the lens months or years later (treated easily with a laser)
• Rarely infection, retinal detachment or lens displacement

Are there alternatives?

Single-focus (monofocal) lenses give very sharp distance vision but reading glasses are needed. Laser surgery, contact lenses or glasses are alternatives depending on age and eye condition.
