What Are PanOptix Trifocal Lenses for Cataract Surgery?

To understand a PanOptix Trifocal Lens, you must first understand what an intraocular lens (IOL). IOLs are an important part of cataract eye surgery. During the surgery, the natural lens which has become clouded over by cataracts is removed, and replaced with an IOL.

An IOL was traditionally made to only be able to focus on one depth, meaning the user would have to choose their permanent depth of focus vision and require vision aids for other depths.

The PanOptix Trifocal Lens offers an innovative premium version of an IOL that gives the user three different ranges of vision simultaneously, allowing them to see nearby, in middle distance and far, potentially without any need for glasses post cataract surgery.

Trifocal lenses are distinct from other multifocal lens implants that concentrate on two levels of distance near and far because they provide a greater emphasis on intermediate distance or 60 centimeters (31.5 inches). This is the distance people use for working at computers, making it a major task for many in today’s world.

The PanOptix Trifocal Lens is the first FDA-approved trifocal lens, approved as of 2019. At ICON Eyecare, we are proud to offer this latest innovation in cataract eye surgery.
