Q: Are Multifocal Lenses Right for Everyone?

Adjustment Period : Your brain will need time to adapt to switching between near and far vision. This is called neuroadaptation. Vision Expectations : Multifocal lenses can reduce the need for glasses, for most patients. These lenses restore your natural ability to see near and far without glasses. Personal Needs : Dr. Benaim will assess your lifestyle and vision goals to determine if multifocal lenses are the best option for you.

Q: Types of Multifocal Lenses

Diffractive Lenses : Feature concentric rings that help focus at different distances. Segmented Lenses : Divided into sections for near and distance vision. Toric Multifocal Lenses : Correct astigmatism for patients with irregularly shaped corneas.

Sharpen Your Vision,

Shape Your Future

Multifocal lenses are a type of intraocular lens (IOL) that can be used to correct your vision if you have cataracts or want to undergo refractive lens exchange. Unlike traditional single-focus lenses, which only correct your vision at one distance, multifocal lenses are designed to improve your vision at multiple distances. This means they can help you see clearly both up close (like when you’re reading) and far away (like when you’re driving).

Experience Clear Vision with Multifocal Lenses

Dr. Benaim knows the frustrations of relying on glasses for everyday tasks like reading and driving. After years of dependence, he chose to undergo refractive lens exchange surgery using multifocal lenses, one of the most advanced options in vision correction technology. The results were life-changing—Dr. Benaim now enjoys near 20/20 vision in both eyes and no longer needs glasses.

Impressed by his own results, Dr. Benaim now proudly advocates for this innovative lens technology. While individual outcomes may vary, many of his patients who have chosen multifocal lenses are thrilled with their improved vision and newfound freedom from glasses.

If you’re considering cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange, multifocal lenses could be your best option for reducing reliance on eyewear and enhancing your quality of life. Contact our office today to learn more!

What Are Multifocal Lenses?

Multifocal lenses are advanced intraocular lenses used after cataract surgery to replace the eye’s cloudy natural lens.
These lenses help you see clearly at different distances—near, far, and sometimes mid-range—without needing glasses as much.
Multifocal lenses have special zones that focus light from different distances onto your retina, allowing you to shift between near and far vision.
After cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange surgery, the impaired natural lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens, and multifocal lenses enable you to see without needing multiple pairs of glasses.

Why Choose Multifocal Lenses?

Multifocal lenses allow you to see both near and far, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses.
Traditional monofocal lenses only correct vision at one distance (usually far), meaning you’d still need glasses for reading or close-up work.
