Adapting to multifocal lenses: Real-life patient experiencesMultifocal Lens
2 months ago
My mother is 70 and very concerned about losing independence. The surgeon suggested multifocal lenses, but she is scared of paying a premium price and ending up with blurry vision at night. How do patients usually adapt to multifocal lenses in real life?

Patients often find that initial blurriness or glare improves gradually as the brain adjusts to the new lenses. Most seniors regain independence in reading, watching TV, and household tasks within a few weeks. Proper guidance on expectations and post-op care helps reduce anxiety. While multifocal lenses are more expensive, many patients feel the improvement in quality of life—less reliance on glasses and more freedom—justifies the investment.
