Types of Multifocal Cataract Lens

Refractive Multifocal IOL

This type of lens depends on pupil dynamics. They are quite sensitive at the center and sometimes have a continuous curvature to support eye movements and optimize vision. They address intermediate and far vision. 

Diffractive Multifocal IOL

This type of lens is good for near and far vision. The concentric ring’s distance from each other increases moving from center to the edges. This lens does address the intermediate vision. Hence, the results are not always satisfactory.
