How is a Multifocal Lens Implant Treatment Preformed?

Multifocal Lens Implants are inserted during a standard cataract surgery, an outpatient procedure that usually only takes a few hours. Your eyes will be treated with a anesthetic, and you will feel nothing during the procedure. After the anesthetic has taken effect, a small incision will be made in the eye and a tiny instrument will be inserted through it. This instrument gives off ultrasonic vibrations which will break up the cataract into microscopic pieces which can then be sucked up into the instrument. Once the cataract has been removed, the Mulifocal Lens Implant will be inserted through the incision and placed on the eye. After the procedure you will be instructed by your surgeon on post operative care for your eyes, which may include eye drops, protective shields you wear at night and follow up visits. Generally your eyes will heal fast enough that you can return to your normal routine within a day or two.
