What is a Multifocal Lens?
Multifocal lenses are advanced, smart lenses used to simultaneously treat multiple vision problems. They are specifically designed for people who have difficulty seeing both near and far. While traditional lenses typically have a single focal point, multifocal lenses have multiple focus rings. This allows users to see objects clearly at different distances, eliminating the need to wear separate glasses for both near and far vision.
Multifocal lenses are implanted into the eye during cataract surgery, significantly improving patients' quality of life. Cataracts are a common eye condition that is most commonly seen in individuals between the ages of 52 and 64 and are treated with surgery.

How is Multifocal Lens Surgery Performed?
Multifocal lens surgery is performed during cataract surgery. Detailed and precise measurements are taken of the patient before the surgery, allowing them to select the most suitable lens for their eye structure. The procedure is performed in a sterile operating room using microsurgical incisions using a microscope. The type of anesthesia is determined by the doctor based on the patient's condition, and the patient is prevented from experiencing any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
The surgery typically lasts between 10 and 30 minutes. During surgery, the patient's natural lens is removed and replaced with a multifocal lens. These lenses simultaneously address both distance and near vision problems, allowing the patient to regain clear vision.

Multifocal Lens Use and Adaptation Process?
It usually takes about two weeks to get used to the wide-angle vision offered by multifocal lenses. You may experience some eye strain or mild discomfort during this time, but these are normal and will quickly subside. Some patients adapt to lenses quickly, while others may require a few days of additional adjustment. It's important to consult your doctor if you experience any problems.
Who is Suitable for Multifocal Lens Surgery?
-Those who do not want to use glasses or contact lenses,
-Those with refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism,
-Patients who are scheduled for cataract surgery,
-It is an ideal option for those who want a wide field of view and multi-focal clarity.
However, it may not be suitable for those who expect very sharp vision or who have other eye conditions such as retinal degeneration or glaucoma. In such cases, specialists recommend alternative treatment methods.
