Each year in the United States, more than 2.5 million people have cataract surgery. Thanks to advanced surgical procedures and technology, cataract surgery is not only one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the United States, but it is also one of the safest and most successful surgical procedures that you can have.

In the past, all lens implants were monofocals. A monofocal lens implant provides excellent vision after cataract surgery - but only at one set distance - usually for seeing things at a distance. With a monofocal lens implant you will most likely need to wear glasses for any type of near-vision activity.

Fortunately, your cataract surgeon is now able to offer you the choice of a multifocal lens implant. A multifocal lens implant provides excellent vision after cataract surgery at a variety of distances. Multifocal lens implants correct both your distance vision and your presbyopia after cataract surgery.

For the vast majority of patients, having a multifocal lens implant means that you will be able to see at distance and up close without being dependent on glasses. So, patients choosing to have a multifocal lens implant will likely find that they can drive, watch television, read or do crafts, all without the need for glasses.
