Common Questions

Q. Will I still need to wear glasses if my surgeon recommends a Multifocal lens?

A. The results will vary depending upon your vision, lifestyle and the anatomy of your eyes. Most people find that they need glasses to read small type or drive at night. Most people, however, can go to the store or conduct many of their day's activities without depending on glasses. In the cases studied, 92% of those who received the technology of Multifocal lenses "never" or only "occasionally" needed to wear glasses.

Q. How is the Multifocal different from traditional single-vision intraocular lenses?

A. The IOL is a multifocal intraocular lens. Unlike traditional single-vision lens implants, Multifocal lenses provides quality vision both at a distance and up close. Traditional single-vision lenses usually provide good vision only at a distance with limited ability to see objects that are near without glasses.

Q. How does a Multifocal lens replace the cataract?

A. The natural lens inside the eye is gently removed through a small micro-incision in the periphery of your eye's corne A. The cataract-impaired lens is then removed through this incision and the lens implant is inserted in its place to permanently replace it. The procedure usually takes about 15 to 45 minutes and vision is usually improved immediately.

Q. How long after surgery until I see my best?

A. Like most procedures, this depends upon the overall health of your eye. For most people, vision is noticeably better immediately and continues to improve during the first few weeks after the procedure.

Q. Does the Multifocal lens require an adjustment period?

A. Yes. For most people, there is a period of weeks when your brain is learning to "see" up close and at a distance with the new lens. This adjustment period is usually complete within 6 to 12 weeks. Also, like all multifocal lenses, some people report halos or glare around lights. Again, for most people this diminishes over time. For some, it becomes less troublesome but never completely goes away. Most people report that the ability to see near and far outweighs any visual side-effects associated with the lens.

Q. Are there any risks having the Multifocal lens procedure?

A. Yes. With any surgical procedure there are risks. The biggest risk with any cataract procedure is infection. Fewer than one percent of patients having a lens implant procedure ever get an infection and most are treated successfully with medications. Infections, however, can cause a severe or total loss of vision.

See Better After Cataract Surgery!

Both cataract and pre-cataract patients older than 40 years of age who are dependent on bifocals or reading glasses are likely candidates, and patients who have these lenses implanted prior to developing cataracts will never need cataract surgery in the future. If you are seeking the TECNIS®, Crystalens®, ReZoom® or ReSTOR® IOL lens options in Pennsylvania Dr. Bucci can help you decide if this option is right for you!

What Are Cataracts?

A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear crystalline lens of the eye. The lens is normally extremely clear, and allows light to pass through and be focused onto the retina. When the lens is not clear, and light is impeded from passing through it, a cataract is said to be present in the lens. The term “cataract” comes from the Latin word for waterfall (cataracta) as very advanced cataracts may look white, like foamy water, and be visible to an observer with the naked eye.

Cataract Surgery

Modern microsurgical techniques for removing cataracts have evolved and improved dramatically over the past 20 years. During this procedure, the eye's natural lens is removed because it became cloudy as a result of the natural aging process. In the early days, cataract surgery was performed only when a person could no longer see. The cloudy lens was removed in one piece through a large incision that required many stitches. Patients stayed in the hospital for days and after surgery had to wear thick, distorting cataract glasses or deal with cumbersome contact lenses to see well enough to function.

Multifocal / Accommodative

Exciting advances in lens implant technology now allows patients to choose multifocal lens implants to correct their vision. Monofocal lens implants provide excellent vision at one point, usually distance. Multifocal lens implants provide a range of clearer vision at near, intermediate and distance, thereby allowing the performance of most daily activities with little or no dependence on traditional or progressive bifocals. Dr. Bucci will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of multifocal lenses during your free consultation.
