Multifocal, accommodative, and extended depth- of-focus IOLs (intraocular lenses) are types of artificial lenses that replace the eye’s natural lens. They are usually implanted after a cloudy natural lens is removed in cataract surgery. Sometimes these IOLs are implanted only to correct refractive errors.

These presbyopia-correcting IOLs help make you less dependent on glasses by allowing you to focus at different distances.

There can be side effects with presbyopia- correcting IOLs. For instance, your vision may be not be as sharp in dim light or fog, and you may also notice glare and halos around lights.

When choosing a new lens, consider your lifestyle and vision needs.

If you have any questions about your eyes or your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. They are committed to protecting your sight.
