Monofocal lens: This implant is the most basic lens implant used to correct vision. Until recently, all lens implants were monofocal. While it can provide a clear vision, it improves distance vision more. For example, with this lens, one would be able to go to the movies or drive easily. But they won’t be able to see their computer screens clearly. The monofocal lens does not correct near vision. Thus, patients who choose mono-focal lens implants have to be dependent on spectacles. This is true for about 70% of the cases.
Multifocal lens: This lens, as the name suggests, has more than one point of focus. A bifocal, a type of multifocal lens, has two points of focus. One is at a distance, and the other one is near. Multifocal lenses are an alternative to bifocals. These enable one to see comfortably at all distances.
EDOF Lens: EDOL provides high-quality, visual comfort without the annoying side effects like halos and glare that are seen often with multifocal lenses. Very good and suitable for all kind of patients who wants a clear vision for distance work, near work as well as intermediate work while using a laptop or computer.
