If you find yourself holding your smartphone or newspaper at arm’s length to read clearly, you may be experiencing presbyopia, a common age-related condition that typically begins around the age of 45. It makes focusing on nearby objects increasingly difficult. Traditionally, reading glasses or progressive lenses have been the solution, especially for those who already wear glasses for distance vision. However, multifocal lenses offer a modern alternative. Designed to correct both near and distance vision within a single lens, they eliminate the need for multiple pairs of glasses and provide seamless clarity at all ranges.
We use the latest generation of multifocal lenses to restore clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. This advanced treatment offers a premium solution for correcting presbyopia, allowing you to enjoy everyday life with freedom from glasses.
With EuroEyes, you’re in expert hands. We are proud to have performed more trifocal lens implantations than any other clinic worldwide.
During the opening of EuroEyes’ flagship clinic in Hong Kong, Dr. Jørgensen was awarded the Zeiss certificate.
Presbyopia usually begins to develop between the ages of 40 and 50, making it harder to read small print and increasing your reliance on reading glasses. Whether you’ve been nearsighted or farsighted in the past, presbyopia is a natural part of ageing that eventually affects everyone, often requiring bifocals or multiple pairs of glasses. Multifocal lens implantation, also known as multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) treatment, offers a safe, precise, and well-established solution to restore clear vision across all distances.
The multifocal lenses used by EuroEyes are premium lenses that meet the highest quality standards:
The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes 15 minutes per eye. Before the procedure, the eye is anesthetised with drops so that the patient does not feel any pain during refractive lens exchange. The eye is opened with a tiny corneal incision, which heals seamlessly.
The anterior lens envelope is opened in a circular fashion. Then the lens core is removed. The rest of the lens envelope remains and serves as a ‘holding apparatus’ for the new lens.
Each patient receives a multifocal lens that is ideally adapted to his or her individual needs. This well-tolerated artificial lens can remain permanently in the eye and is not visible.
The surgeon inserts the new lens into the eye with an injector. The lens unfolds and is properly placed in the empty lens envelope by the surgeon. The multifocal lens corrects presbyopia in addition to other existing vision disorders (near-, farsightedness and astigmatism).
They have patented high-performance optics and open up the possibility for you to see everyday life clearly without any aid, providing high quality near, intermediate and distance vision.
This means the highest possible precision and optical premium quality for you.
A special process reduces stray light phenomena, which always occur with multifocal lenses, to an absolute minimum. The positive effect: less glare and fewer halos! Aspherical optics provide optimized image quality and improved contrast vision.
This protective function is used in ophthalmology, especially for the prevention of macular degeneration (AMD). No matter whether presbyopia or cataract, whether nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, clinical studies show that 97% of people operated on no longer need glasses after implantation of trifocal and multifocal lenses.
Multifocal lenses are advanced intraocular implants that provide clear vision at multiple distances, near, far, and intermediate. They’re often used during lens replacement surgery to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses after age-related vision decline.
If you’re over 40 and tired of switching between reading and distance glasses, you might be a candidate. These lenses are ideal for patients with presbyopia or cataracts and are assessed during your free EuroEyes consultation in Central London.
Multifocal lenses typically offer two focal points (near and far), while trifocal lenses add a third intermediate zone for enhanced clarity at screen distance. At EuroEyes, we tailor the lens type based on your lifestyle and visual priorities.
Yes! Our London clinic offers leading multifocal lens options, including ZEISS and other globally trusted brands. We use high-precision diagnostics to match the best lens technology to your needs.
Many patients no longer need glasses after surgery, especially for everyday tasks. Some may still choose readers for very fine print or dim lighting, but overall spectacle independence is high with multifocal implants. We also offer a complete aftercare package.
Pricing varies depending on your eyes and the lens type. At EuroEyes London, surgery with multifocal lenses starts from £3,400 per eye, with finance plans available to help spread the cost over monthly instalments.
