How Multifocal Intraocular Lenses Can Get You Spectacle-Free

As we age, our eyesight can change, including our ability to see things clearly both up close and at a distance.

For many of us, this is when the idea of having multiple prescriptions and spectacles for different vision needs becomes irritating.

Instead, consider multifocal intraocular lens surgery, which offers patients freedom from reliance on spectacles by replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens to see clearly.

Oxford-based ophthalmologist Gurjeet Jutley offers top-grade multifocal intraocular lens replacement at the time of cataract surgery or as a refractive procedure to correct general vision problems, thereby offering patient independence from contact lenses and glasses.

How it works

It’s a surgical procedure where the new lens is inserted inside the eye, enabling clearer vision at closer, middle and further away distances.

By opting for multifocal intraocular lenses, you are more likely to complete various tasks without the need for spectacles, whether that’s reading a book, looking at a sign or driving a car.

The clue is in the name; multifocal intraocular lenses are multifocal, giving you clearer vision at multiple distances instead of clearer vision at a set distance that traditional monofocal lenses offer. With monofocal lenses, which correct vision at only one distance, you will require spectacles for certain tasks.

Multifocal intraocular lenses have potential side effects to be aware of, including halos and glare at night. This means you will need an expert consultant’s opinion first, and this is where Mr Jutley’s extensive medical experience comes in.

Mr Jutley can assess whether multifocal intraocular lenses are the right choice for your visual requirements and lifestyle. It all starts with booking a consultation.

Gurjeet Jutley also offers general ophthalmology services, including regular checkups, help with vision changes and support with general eye health concerns.
