Multifocal Lenses in Turkey
What are Multifocal Lenses?
The capacity to see clearly at different distances is made possible with multifocal lenses. These lenses are appropriate for those with visual impairments who do not want to wear special glasses for their condition.
A multifocal lens insertion procedure is known as multifocal lens surgery. These surgeries are based on single-lens or eyeglasses, which are alternatives for treating presbyopia. Due to the positioning of the lens in the eye following multifocal lens surgery, you may see clearly both up close and far away at the same time.
This procedure can be performed alongside cataract surgery or without treating any other eye issues.
Types of Multifocal Lenses
There are four different types of multifocal lenses. These are:
Exhaustive multifocal lenses
These lenses enable a less clear field of vision to support the focal points on the lens's periphery.
Centered multifocal lenses
A clean field of vision is only available in the center of these lenses; vision is less clear outside of this area.
Segmented multifocal lenses
These lenses can use different focal points in various visual field regions.
Multifocal lenses with diffractive
These lenses divide light into many frequencies, which enables it to have various focal points at various locations throughout the lens.
Before Multifocal Lenses
You should have a preliminary consultation with your ophthalmologist before having this surgery. Before the multifocal lens surgery, your doctor performs some examinations and tests to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for this surgery. So, what are these examinations?
- Consultation: First of all, you need to be examined by your doctor before the surgery. Your doctor will ask you some questions about your health status and decide whether you are suitable for this surgery.
- Visual Inspection: An examination by your ophthalmologist determines the health of your eyes and the extent of your vision.
- Eye Measurements: Your ophthalmologist measures your eye and chooses the best kind of multifocal lens for the eye based on those parameters.
After Multifocal Lenses
Your ophthalmologist will keep a watch on your eyes for a few days following surgery. You must apply the ointment to the affected eye and adhere to your ophthalmologist's instructions. After surgery, it's critical to get enough rest and sleep.
If you experience pain following surgery, take the pain medications that your ophthalmologist has prescribed. After surgery, refrain from physical activity for a few days. After surgery, it's crucial that you wear glasses for a few weeks. Following these instructions will provide the greatest outcome and help your eyes to recover from surgery. You must heed all directions and suggestions given to you by your ophthalmologist.
Multifocal Lenses Healing Process
Patient recovery times following multifocal lens surgery may differ. In the early postoperative days, there can be a little swelling and pain in the eyes. The first week sees a reduction in eye pain and swelling and an improvement in visual acuity.
The ability to see increases more during the second week and the eye edema may become irreparably injured. You might be able to resume routine activities by the third week when your visual capacity has fully recovered.
The speed of the healing process varies from person to person, therefore it's crucial that you heed all the advice and instructions provided by your ophthalmologist throughout this procedure. Speak with your ophthalmologist if you have any questions or issues.
