TRIFOCAL-/MULTIFOCAL LENSES: NO MORE GLASSES, NO MORE READING GLASSES!

Whether reading your smartphone or a newspaper: in the meantime if you have to read the text at an ever-increasing distance, then here is the vision impairment in the close range. Presbyopia onsets around 45 years when reading and viewing close objects becomes increasingly more difficult. Reading glasses are then needed to see clearly. People who already wear glasses for distance vision, then need a second pair; or progressive lenses.

EuroEyes implants the latest generation trifocal/multifocal lenses to give you clear near, middle and distance vision. This is a first-class method of correcting your presbyopia and enables you to live a life long without glasses. You can feel safe with us: EuroEyes has performed most trifocal lens implantations worldwide. The blade-free implantation is also carried out with the help of LenSx – the most advanced technology on the market.

THE STEPS IN A REFRACTIVE LENS EXCHANGE PROCEDURE

Preparation of the eye

The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes 15 minutes per eye. Before the procedure, the eye is anesthetized with drops so that the patient does not feel any pain during refractive lens exchange. The eye is opened with a tiny corneal incision, which heals seamlessly.

Multifocal1

Removal of the lens

The anterior lens envelope is opened in a circular fashion. Then the lens core is removed. The rest of the lens envelope remains and serves as a ‘holding apparatus’ for the new lens.

The trifocal and multifocal lens

Each patient receives a trifocal/multifocal lens that is ideally adapted to his or her individual needs. This well-tolerated artificial lens can remain permanently in the eye and is not visible.

Multifocal3

Implantation of the trifocal and multifocal lens

The surgeon inserts the new lens into the eye with an injector. The lens unfolds and is properly placed in the empty lens envelope by the surgeon. The trifocal/multifocal lens corrects presbyopia in addition to other existing vision disorders (near-, farsightedness and astigmatism).

  • In-depth consultation

treatment-multifocal2

2. Preliminary medical examination

  • Intensive preliminary ophthalmological examination and measurement of your eyes

  • Detailed treatment explanation by a medical specialist

  • Duration of examination usually 2 hours

  • Before this appointment you are not allowed to wear soft contact lenses for one week and hard contact lenses for two weeks

THE PROPERTIES OF THE LATEST GENERATION OF LENSES ARE OUTSTANDING AND OFFER THE HIGHEST QUALITY

teaser-monofokallinsen
  • We use trifocal and multifocal lenses of the latest generation.
    They have patented high-performance optics and open up the possibility for you to see in everyday life both at near and at medium distances and in the distance without aids.

  • The Trifocal Premium lenses are manufactured with computer-controlled diamond tools.
    This means the highest possible precision and optical premium quality for you.

  • The optics of the lenses are manufactured using the patented SMP technology:
    A special process reduces stray light phenomena, which always occur with trifocal/multifocal lenses, to an absolute minimum. The positive effect: less glare and fewer halos! Aspherical optics provide optimized image quality and improved contrast vision.

  • Lenses protect the sensitive retina and are optionally equipped with an extended light protection filter in addition to a UV filter.
    This protective function is used in ophthalmology, especially for the prevention of macular degeneration (AMD). No matter whether presbyopia or cataract, whether nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, clinical studies show that 97% of people operated on no longer need glasses after implantation of trifocal and multifocal lenses.

The LenSx® Revolution: More precision through blade-free implantation

The femtosecond laser LenSx® enables blade-free implantation of artificial lenses for the treatment of cataracts for the first time – and is thus revolutionary in this sector. Several steps of the previous surgical method are combined in this laser lens surgery, making the surgeon’s scalpel unnecessary. The laser offers two major advantages over the previous method: Firstly, greater precision thanks to more exact positioning of the artificial lens during lens replacement. On the other hand, greater safety thanks to high-precision laser cuts.

EuroEyes is one of the first clinic groups and competence center for lens surgery in Germany to use the LenSx® in the field of laser lens exchange and now offers it at many locations – once again demonstrating a pioneering spirit. Because only the most modern and gentle methods are in line with the philosophy of EuroEyes: not only to correct your refractive error, but to constantly improve the quality of your treatment as well as the quality of your vision.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT TRIFOCAL AND MULTIFOCAL LENSES

Presbyopia typically develops between the ages of 40 and 50: small print becomes increasingly hard to read, and you become dependent on reading glasses. Even if you have suffered from nearsightedness or farsightedness earlier in your life, you will eventually develop presbyopia, and will need bifocals or several glasses.

The implantation of the multifocal lens, also known as multifocal intraocular lens, is a safe, precise, and tested procedure for the correction of presbyopia. Basically, the natural lens of the eye is replaced with an artificial lens. This Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a proven procedure as it has been used for decades in cataract treatments. The cataract treatment is the most commonly performed surgery in the world. You can therefore approach your treatment with a clear conscience.

WHAT IS A MULTIFOCAL LENS?

The multifocal lens is a highly developed artificial lens with several focal points, and it thereby enables clear vision in various distances – without the need for glasses. This well tolerated lens can permanently stay in the eye and is not visible. In addition to presbyopia the correction of myopia, farsightedness and astigmatism can be possible with artificial lenses.

You can feel safe with us: EuroEyes has performed the most intraocular lens implants in Germany and can prove many years of experience. Blade-free implantation is also performed using LenSx laser – the most advanced technology on the market.

PRECISION THANKS TO LASER

To enable an even greater accuracy and perfection, EuroEyes uses the LenSx® femtosecond laser for the surgical procedure, which takes several essential steps of the lens surgery that were previously performed manually by the surgeon.

This laser eye treatment used for lens exchange, allows a painless and precise dissection of different layers of tissue in the eye. It thus offers two advantages over the manual technique: first of all, the lens exchange is precise because the trifocal/multifocal lens can be positioned accurately, and second of all, safer because the laser incisions are more precise than hand-guided incisions.

EuroEyes is one of the first LASIK clinical groups in Germany to apply the LenSx® in the field of laser lens exchange.
