Standard lens

Monofocal Lens

2-3 meters

A monofocal lens has a single fixed focusing power and corrects vision at either near or far distance. Most patients choose to optimize their vision for distance and use reading glasses for near work. This type of lens is ideal if you want stable and natural vision correction after cataract surgery. Monofocal lenses are also available in a toric variant, which corrects astigmatism by compensating for irregularities in the cornea and providing sharper vision. An alternative solution may be monovision, where one eye is adjusted for distance and the other for near vision, which can reduce the need for reading glasses.

Standard lens

Monofocal Plus Lens

1-2 meters

The Monofocal Plus lens is a further development of the classic monofocal lens and provides improved depth of field. It makes it easier to see clearly at intermediate distances, such as when using a computer or cooking, while maintaining sharp long-distance vision. This solution is suitable for those who want more flexible vision with less dependence on glasses.

Premium lens

EDOF Lens

0,5 – 1 meters

EDOF lenses provide an extended depth of field and a smooth, natural vision from intermediate to long distance. In contrast to traditional multifocal lenses, EDOF lenses reduce the risk of light rings and reflections, which makes vision more comfortable, especially when driving and working in front of a screen. This lens type is ideal for you who desire minimal dependence on glasses in daily life, but good optical quality.

Premium lens

Multifocal Lens

40 cm

A multifocal lens combines multiple focusing powers in a single lens and corrects vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. It also corrects age-related farsightedness (presbyopia) and any astigmatism, allowing you to focus naturally at all distances. With a multifocal lens, you achieve the greatest freedom from glasses and flexible vision.

Lens replacement - RLE

RLE is suitable for patients over 45 years old who want to be free from glasses. During the procedure, the natural lens in the eye is replaced with an artificial lens tailored to your vision needs. The lens types are selected based on your needs.

Cataract surgery

Cataract surgery removes the cloudy lens in the eye and replaces it with an artificial lens, restoring clearer vision. The lens types are selected based on your needs.
