If you’re thinking about trying premium lenses to replace your natural eye lenses that have been clouded or darkened too much by cataracts, then you must consider the new trifocal intraocular lens, which has been used in over 70 countries after multiple studies had proved its effectiveness.
A trifocal intraocular lens, also known as PanOptix trifocal intraocular lens, is a small, artificial lens composed of foldable acrylic. It provides sharp vision at distance and can replace damaged natural lenses in the eye.
Recently, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved these lenses in the United States after many clinical studies indicated good visual acuities at near, intermediate, and distant ranges after using these lenses.
A trifocal intraocular lens provides a great deal of value and benefits. In short, here are the benefits you will receive from these lenses:
