Multifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implants in Cape Town

Epi-Retinal Membrane Peel Surgery

Advanced Vision Correction After Cataract Surgery

As people age, cataracts become more common. In fact, more than 50% of individuals over the age of 65 develop cataracts to some degree. With life expectancy increasing, many will require cataract surgery at some stage.

Fortunately, modern multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) technology offers patients clear vision at multiple distances – near, far, and intermediate. After surgery, many individuals enjoy life without needing glasses.

What Are Multifocal IOLs?

Multifocal IOLs are artificial lenses implanted during cataract surgery. Unlike monofocal lenses, which only offer clear vision at one distance, multifocal IOLs correct vision at all ranges.

Today’s advanced multifocal IOLs feature wavefront-guided optical surfaces that account for each eye’s natural aberrations. This helps ensure clearer, sharper vision.

Types of Multifocal Lens Implants

Several types of multifocal IOLs are available, including:

  • FineVision

  • Liberty

  • PanOptix

  • RayOne

Some lenses are better for reading up close, while others excel at improving intermediate (computer) vision. For patients with astigmatism, toric multifocal lenses are also available.

Dr. Johann Krüger customises each treatment plan. He carefully selects the most suitable IOL – or combination of lenses – based on the patient’s lifestyle and visual needs.

Why Choose Dr. Krüger for Multifocal IOL Surgery?

Dr. Krüger has been a leader in eye surgery since 1993 and has performed thousands of multifocal lens implants since 1995. Younger patients tend to achieve particularly strong outcomes, but people of all ages can benefit from this life-enhancing procedure.

What to Expect After Surgery

It’s normal to experience glare or halos around lights at night during the first few months after surgery. However, these visual effects typically fade within three months as the eyes adjust.
