Advance in the Lios transforms cataract surgery into an opportunity to regain visual independence at all distances
Modern ophthalmology is redefining the limits of visual correction. Driven by continuous innovations in intraocular lenses (lylls), the dream of a clear and independent vision in all distances is becoming a tangible reality to a growing number of patients. The future of vision, shaped by these advances, is a horizon of expanded possibilities, where surgery turns into an opportunity to significantly improve visual quality.
From unique vision to multifocality
Historically, cataract surgery focused on replacing the lens opacified by a monofocal Lio, which corrected the vision for a single distance, usually away. Although essential to restore clarity, this approach left patients dependent on glasses for close or intermediate activities. The search for a more complete solution has boosted the development of multifocal lyos.
Multifocal lenses represent a qualitative leap, designed to provide clear vision at more than one focal distance. Within this comprehensive category, we find different optical approaches:
- bifocais lenses – They offer two focus points, far and near, but with transitions that may seem abrupt to some users
- Trifocais lenses – Add an essential intermediate focus for using digital devices and everyday tasks, providing greater visual comfort
- Extended Focus Lenses (EDOF) – Create a continuous strip of clear vision at different distances, with fewer halos and softer transitions
Personalized solutions with improved quality
In addition to the multifocals, the concept of the so -called “monoplus lenses” has gained prominence. These are improved monofocal lenses, which maintain excellent view from afar, but offer better performance for intermediate distances. They are suitable for patients seeking daily functionality without the visual side effects that some multifocal lenses can cause.
The success of these technologies depends on factors such as advanced optical design, manufacturing and customization accuracy. The choice of the ideal lens is made individually, considering the lifestyle, eye health and the patient’s expectations.
Far beyond visual correction
The impact of the new bios goes beyond the optical function. The reconquest of glasses independence, even partial, represents a significant improvement in quality of life. Vision becomes more fluid, self-confidence strengthens and the patient resumes his personal, social and professional routine with more autonomy.
The future of vision, shaped by innovations on intraocular lenses, is increasingly promising. Multifocal – bifocal, trifocal and edof – along with monoplus, offer accurate and adapted solutions to the needs of each patient. Ophthalmology continues to evolve, with the promise of a clearer, safe and more personalized view for everyone.
