If you or a loved one needs cataract surgery, you may be trying to decide on what kind of intraocular lens to choose. If you’re looking for an option that will potentially free you from glasses and enhance your vision, the PanOptix trifocal IOL may be one worth considering.
What Is The PanOptix Trifocal IOL?
The PanOptix trifocal IOL is the first trifocal IOL to be FDA approved. Put simply, a trifocal lens is a premium lens option that offers clear vision at all distances: near, far, and intermediate.
Before the trifocal IOL, intermediate vision in the middle was something that previous multifocal lenses couldn’t achieve. Middle vision is important for tasks that you need to complete at arm’s length.
For most people, this includes things like working on a computer or using their smartphone.
