Wondering how multifocal lenses work? Find out in our video how this safe and effective treatment can help you live a glasses-free life. Click below and experience for yourself how multifocal implant lenses can change your vision!
Multifocal lenses: step-by-step
Step 1: Evaluation during screening
Your glasses-free life begins with a comprehensive eye examination and consultation with an ophthalmic surgeon during the initial screening. You will undergo a series of technical examinations in which the eye is completely mapped. To determine whether you are a suitable candidate for multifocal implant lenses, the doctor evaluates your refractive error and, of course, also takes into account your motivation, your profession and your hobbies. We ask that you not wear contact lenses for 5 days in order to take the most accurate measurements of the cornea.
Step 2: Preparation for surgery
You will be received by our qualified nursing staff. They will make the necessary preparations to get you ready for the procedure, such as the insertion of eye drops. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.
You will be given a light sedative. Your eyes are numbed locally with drops. Therefore, you will not undergo anesthesia or general anesthesia.
You will be escorted to the operating room.
Your eye will be thoroughly disinfected and covered with a sterile dressing.
Your eyelashes are held aside and your eye is again numbed locally.
An eyelid retainer is placed so that you can no longer blink or squeeze your eyes shut.
Step 3 : The procedure itself
After dilation of the pupil, with femto laser (Z8 ZIEMER), two micro incisions (2.2 mm and 1 mm) are made in the cornea.
Afterwards, the same Femto laser is used to create a perfectly nicely centered round opening in the capsule. The femto laser will fragment the lens and prepare it for aspiration with the phako device.
The surgeon inserts the bifocal or multifocal lens through the micro incision. Afterwards, the micro incision is closed without wires.
Step 4: Enjoy life!
After surgery
One day after surgery, you can see well again and most people can soon function normally. Although it may still take a few weeks for vision to fully stabilize.Some patients may initially see halos around lights, especially at night. Thanks to the brain's habituation to the new lenses, these phenomena gradually disappear after a few weeks.
Aftercare
The treatment schedule with the eye drops is explained by the nursing team. You must apply medication eye drops for 1 month. Daily activities such as household chores, sports, driving and desk work can be resumed very soon. If in doubt, consult with your doctor.
Check-ups:
1st checkup: one day after the procedure.
2nd examination: one week after the operation.
3rd examination: after one month.
