Product Information

Patient satisfaction with monofocal lenses is high and very few negative effects have been reported. However, enablinga change of focal length (e.g. for reading or computer use) often requires the addition of reading glasses. This is a technique to allow the benefits of monofocal lenses (relatively low cost and very low risk of adverse visual effects) whilst reducing the need for reading glasses. At this appointment, you may be given advice on when to stop using your eye drops and when to apply for new glasses. How to apply eye drops During the operation, you’ll just experience a bright light, sensations or water around the eye and you’ll hear our theatre music. You don’t see any of the “work” happening. Some patients even see kaleidoscopic colours and patterns during surgery. When the operation is complete, you’ll sit up with a clear eye shield over the eye. These side effects usually improve within a few days, but it can take 4 to 6 weeks to recover fully.

Feeling should start to return to your eye within a few hours of surgery, but it may take a few days for your vision to fully return. Nowadays, there are many to choose from and the right one for you will depend on many factors, including your specific visual needs. Mr Dan Lindfield, a leading consultant ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon in Guildford and Farnham, Surrey explains the pros and cons of the different types of IOLs and what to expect before and after surgery. You may have a pad and plastic shield over your treated eye when you leave hospital, which can usually be removed the day after surgery.Place the shield carefully over the eye. Ensure that the edges rest comfortably on the bones around the eye and not on the eye itself, or on the soft tissues surrounding it, as this can cause further damage. I definitely recommend patients ask their surgeon which lens they think is right for them. Your surgeon will have many years of experience and will know what is most appropriate for your eye, lifestyle and expectations. There is a lot of science here but lens selection is also an art and a skill. Trifocal lenses can be well suited to you but Mr Lindfield reassures that he or your chosen doctor will go through a process to ensure they fit with your requirement and your eyes are suitable. These implants can allow excellent visual function at a set distance. They can correct shortsightedness or longsightedness. They aim to leave patients without glasses for a defined focal length, which is usually for distance vision.

Before you leave hospital, you'll be given some eye drops to help your eye heal and prevent infection. There is often a learning curve associated with these lenses but within a few weeks, patients can often see clearly for distance and near tasks. It must be stated, however, that these lenses function their best in good light. They sometimes perform less well in dim light.These state of the art implants potentially allow for complete freedom of glasses. However, in practice, most patients feel that they are less dependent on glasses but still occasionally use them for prolonged periods of close work, such as reading a good book. These lenses carry significant extra cost because of their design complexity and relative rarity. They work by simultaneously providing the eye with three focal lengths of vision; distance, intermediate (computer screens) and near and then asking your eye and brain to “tune in” to which objects it wants to see.
