If you have cataracts, you’re likely aware of how they can make life more difficult by impairing your vision. It can be stressful and even dangerous when you struggle to read, drive, and perform other tasks.

They will worsen with time, and eventually, glasses and contacts might not be enough to maintain quality vision. With cataract surgery, you can restore your eyesight and reduce your reliance on glasses and contact lenses.

Cataract surgery is a fast, minimally invasive procedure that removes the lens of the eye that has been clouded by cataracts. Your cataract surgeon will replace it with an intraocular lens, or IOL, to improve your vision.

Many different IOL options exist, but some provide more advantages than others. The PanOptix trifocal IOL is a premium trifocal IOL that provides clear vision at far, intermediate, and close distances.

Keep reading to learn more about what the benefits of the PanOptix trifocal IOL are, and whether it could help you achieve your visual goals.

What Is The PanOptix Trifocal IOL?

IOLs come in many varieties. The most common and standard of these is a monofocal lens.

Monofocal lenses correct vision at a single distance, such as near vision. Multifocal lenses, on the other hand, improve vision at multiple distances.

The PanOptix trifocal IOL is a premium lens that improves eyesight for near, intermediate, and far distances. This lens can also correct astigmatism, so it’s a popular choice for many patients. 

Benefits of the PanOptix Trifocal IOL

Because the PanOptix trifocal IOL is a premium lens created with advanced technology, it offers many advantages to patients receiving cataract surgery. Here are some reasons to consider this IOL:

Improved Vision At Multiple Distances

Because the PanOptix trifocal IOL allows you to focus your vision at multiple distances, it improves your eyesight overall. It is one of only a few IOLs that improves near vision, meaning you won’t have to wear reading glasses or struggle with close-up tasks. 

UV Light & Blue Light Protection

PanOptix trifocal lenses are created using a filtering material. If you choose this kind of IOL, you’ll have increased protection from UV rays emitted by the sun.

The material also protects your eyes from the blue light that comes from screens. This means you won’t have to worry as much about eye strain when using your phone or computer. 

Increased Vision Definition

Because the PanOptix trifocal is a cutting-edge IOL made of flexible, strong materials, it also provides a higher definition to your vision than many other IOLs. Most patients find they can see more clearly at all distances and that glare is reduced. 

FDA- Approved

The PanOptix trifocal IOL is a premium option that is the only trifocal IOL currently approved by the FDA. This new technology is safe and effective, providing clearer vision at all distances. 

While many other IOLs are still effective and safe, the PanOptix trifocal is an excellent option if you want better vision with few drawbacks.
