Reducing glasses dependence after cataract surgery without premium lensesMultifocal Lens
1 month ago
Are there any cheaper alternatives to multifocal lenses that still give good vision at multiple distances, or is paying extra the only way to reduce dependence on glasses after cataract surgery?

Monofocal lenses are less expensive and provide excellent distance vision, but reading glasses are usually needed. Some patients opt for “monovision,” where one eye is set for distance and the other for near vision, which can reduce dependency on glasses without the premium cost. Discussing lifestyle needs and priorities with the surgeon helps balance cost and visual outcomes.
