5. For those who want to achieve optimum vision at all distances,
multifocal IOLs are the cataract lenses for you.
Unlike monofocal IOLs, multifocal lenses allow you to see well at
more than one distance.
Multifocal lenses are usually only used if they can be implanted
into both eyes, and will work best for patients who don’t have
any eye diseases.
