Trifocal lenses<\/h1>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A lens with three focal points that gives reading, screen and distance vision in a single procedure and also means that cataract cannot later develop in the treated lens. Most patients become independent of glasses for everyday life.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

What are trifocal lenses?<\/h2>

Trifocal lens implantation replaces the eye's natural lens with a premium artificial lens that has three focal points \u2013 for near, intermediate and far vision. It is the most complete solution for presbyopia<\/a> (age-related loss of near focus) and an outstanding way to correct vision permanently.<\/p>

A treatment with multifocal lenses may be relevant for you if you are over 45, whether you are short-sighted, long-sighted and\/or have astigmatism.<\/p>

By having multifocal lenses implanted, you have your presbyopia and any other refractive errors corrected, and you can look forward to everyday life without glasses, reading glasses or contact lenses.<\/p>

A trifocal lens is an artificial lens that replaces the eye\u2019s natural lens. It is a type of multifocal lens and has three focal points: for distance vision, vision at intermediate distance and reading vision.<\/p>

Implantation of trifocal lenses is an intraocular procedure and is performed on the same principle as an ordinary cataract operation. In other words, the treatment has been used for more than 30 years and is one of the safest surgical treatment methods of all.<\/p>

Because the natural lens is removed, you can never develop cataracts in the future. Most patients enjoy a life free from glasses and reading glasses, seeing clearly whether they are reading, working at a screen or driving.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Measure & plan<\/h3>

Advanced diagnostics map your eyes precisely so your surgeon can select the ideal lens power.<\/p><\/div>

Replace the lens<\/h3>

In a gentle 15-minute procedure per eye, the natural lens is replaced with your trifocal lens under local anaesthetic.<\/p><\/div>

Your brain quickly adapts to the three focal points, and vision continues to sharpen over the following weeks.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The treatment process<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Before you have a lens exchange with trifocal lenses, you will have attended an eye examination and measurement session with one of EuroEyes\u2019 specially trained opticians at one of our three clinics in Denmark.<\/p>

From the measurement session to the day the lenses are implanted, typically 2\u20133 weeks pass, because we order lenses based on your individual measurements. If we already have the relevant lenses in stock, the treatment may be carried out sooner.<\/p>

The treatment is performed by one of EuroEyes\u2019 eye surgeons, each of whom carries out more than 1,000 vision-correcting treatments a year.<\/p><\/div>

Method<\/h3>

The lens exchange itself is performed under local anaesthetic with eye drops and takes about 10\u201315 minutes per eye.<\/p>

In the first step, the eye's own lens is removed. Through a small incision of 2.5\u20132.8 mm, the anterior capsule is removed.<\/p>

Using ultrasound, the lens that fills the capsular bag is removed. The capsular bag is then completely cleaned of cells so that it appears entirely clear.<\/p>

The new lens is then inserted. The power of the lens is carefully calculated on the basis of the measurements taken before the treatment. The lens is folded so it can be introduced through the small incision, after which it unfolds and settles firmly in the lens capsule. The lens lasts a lifetime.<\/p>

As the incision is so small, it closes immediately and heals by itself over a few weeks.<\/p>

The multifocal lenses we use at EuroEyes come from recognised manufacturers and meet high quality standards. We use lenses from Zeiss, FineVision and Alcon.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Is this treatment right for you?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Trifocal lenses are an option for adults over 45 who want to reduce their dependence on glasses. At the assessment, we assess which type of lens may be best suited to your vision and your lifestyle. Individual results vary.<\/p>

Presbyopia<\/strong><\/p>

Presbyopia typically sets in between the ages of 40 and 50.<\/p>

You notice presbyopia developing when reading becomes difficult \u2013 especially small print in dim lighting.<\/p>

You may know the experience of your arms suddenly being too short to read a book or newspaper, and you need reading glasses. If you have suffered from short-sightedness or long-sightedness all your life, you will most likely develop presbyopia sooner or later.<\/p>

If you already have a refractive error and develop presbyopia, you will need bifocal (varifocal) glasses or several different pairs of glasses, which can be both expensive and inconvenient. Multifocal lenses are therefore a good alternative to contact lenses and, not least, glasses.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
