Monofocal lenses are conventional intraocular implants that focus light on a single point only. It assists in correcting vision but you have to put on glasses for near vision. NHS uses this type of lens.

This lens focuses on multiple points effectively correcting intermediate, near and distance vision. This revolutionary solution allows the patient to stay glasses-free forever.

IOL’s optical design is completely different from varifocal spectacles. Instead of putting on the glass and moving the head for the accurate focus in varifocal, Trifocal offers clear vision for near, distance and intermediate objects without any movements. It uses layered concentric circles to correct every prescription allowing perfect vision correction in all fields simultaneously.

We offer lenses from the following reputed companies:

• Zeiss
• BVI Fine Vision – Physio IOLs
• Rayner
• Alcon

During the initial consultation with the optometrist, the treatment type and lenses type will be determined. If you are not an ideal candidate for Trifocal intraocular lenses then Monofocal lenses can suit your needs. It aims for correcting distance vision in both eyes and hence you have to rely on glasses for near vision. You can know more about it during the consultation.

Due to the use of anaesthesia drops for numbing the eye you will not feel any pain. However, mild discomfort can be experienced during the surgery.

Most patients can experience the eyesight difference right after the surgery. Distance vision will settle down very first within 24-48 hours. But you may need more time to adjust to you new reading vision.

Usually, every patient needs a 3-5 days break from office-related work. First two days will be spent to get the treatment and next two days to take rest and heal from the surgery. However, you can start doing daily chores after 1 days of the surgery without any problem. Our eye surgeon will consider your working life and advise to take necessary precautions during follow-up appointment.

Initially, a few restrictions will be there once the surgery is over! For instance, sports and games must be avoided as it can lead to eye trauma. You need to abstain from lifting heavy weights and getting exposed dusty environments. During the initial appointment, we will ask about your hobbies and lifestyle to advise accordingly.

At our clinic, you can get treatment for both eyes on the same day. If you possess low risk and our surgeon is confident that there is no probability of infection then your both eyes can be treated on the same day. However, we do advise to treat one eye at a time to mitigate the associated risks.

All of eye treatments are performed at our comfortable and relaxing eye clinic in Birmingham where you can get complete vision correction solution under a roof- starting from initial consultation to surgery and to aftercare.
