Multifocal lens surgery is a multifocal lens placement surgery into the eye. These surgeries are based on glasses or single-lens lenses that are used as an alternative for the treatment of presbyopia. Multifocal lens surgery, as a result of lens placement in the eye, allows you to see near and far clearly at the same time. This surgery can be done with cataract surgery, or it can be done without any other eye problems.
There are many types of multifocal lenses.
• Segmented multifocal lenses: These lenses allow different focal points in different areas of the visual field.
• Centered multifocal lenses: These lenses have a clear field of vision in the middle of the lens, and areas outside this area provide less clear vision.
• Multifocal lenses with diffractive: These lenses separate light into different frequencies, allowing it to have different focal points in different parts of the lens.
• Exhaustive multifocal lenses: These lenses allow the focal points on the outer edge of the lens to be supported by a less clear field of vision.
There are some elements that you should pay attention to before entering lens surgery. Since the eye is one of the most important organs of our body, it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions.
• Consultation: Your doctor informs you about the surgery in consultation.
• Visual Inspection: Your ophthalmologist performs an examination to assess the condition of your eye and your eyesight capacity.
• Eye Measurements: Your ophthalmologist takes measurements of your eye and determines the most appropriate type of multifocal lens for the eye.
The condition of your eyes is monitored by your ophthalmologist for a few days after surgery. You need to use the ointment in the eye and follow the instructions given by your ophthalmologist. Adequate sleep and rest are important for several days after surgery. Follow the pain control treatments prescribed by your ophthalmologist as there may be pain after surgery. Avoid physical activities for a few days after surgery. It is important that you wear glasses for a few weeks after surgery. These steps will allow your eyes to heal after surgery and ensure the best result. It is important that you follow all instructions and recommendations given by your ophthalmologist.
The healing process of multifocal lens surgery may vary from person to person. In the first days after surgery, there may be slight swelling and pain in the eyes. In the first week, the swelling and pain in the eyes decrease and the visual capacity begins to improve.
Within the second week, the visual capacity improves further and the swelling in the eyes can be completely damaged. Within the third week, visual capacity fully recovers, and you may be able to do normal activities.
During this process, it is important that you follow all the instructions and recommendations given by your ophthalmologist, and the speed of the healing process may vary from person to person. If you encounter any concerns or problems, talk to your ophthalmologist.
