Treating Presbyopia
Usually, presbyopia is treated with simple reading glasses or bifocals. To avoid the daily hassle of glasses or bifocals, many people choose multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) to improve their vision. A multifocal IOL replaces the eye’s natural lens to provide vision both near and far and eliminate the need for reading glasses or bifocals.

Treating Cataracts
An effective way to treat cataracts is through cataract surgery, which involves removing the cloudy crystalline lens of your eye and replacing it with an IOL. The IOL eliminates the cataract, providing you with clear vision.
While surgery on the eye may make some people uneasy, cataract surgery is one of the most common procedures today. Each year, ophthalmologists perform over 14 million cataract procedures worldwide. (Market Scope, 2007)
Cataract procedures are most commonly performed with a standard IOL; however, many patients choose a multifocal IOL* to address their presbyopia and reduce or eliminate their need for glasses.
