The lenses that allow us to see only the long distance are called monofocal (monofocal), the lenses that enable us to see the distance and near are bifocal (bifocal) lenses, and the lenses that enable us to see the distant, middle and close distance are called trifocal (trifocal) lenses. The most appropriate lens is determined according to eye health status as a result of detailed examination to the patient.

Trifocal lenses, the newest version of multifocal lenses, provide clear vision in the distance and completely eliminate the need for glasses in the range of 20-80 cm in close range. It is a very comfortable method especially for people with continuous computer use.

In which situations is trifocal lens applied? 

It is a method that can be applied to patients with cataracts, having problems with far and near vision or having high eye numbers that are not suitable for laser treatment. It can also be applied to patients with myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism who do not want to wear glasses and contact lenses.

 

Are trifocal lenses permanent? 

Trifocal lenses should not be mixed with other lenses. It is not like lenses used daily, weekly or monthly. A permanent lens is replaced by removing the unhealthy lens inside the eye with a surgical operation. These lenses do not lose efficiency over time, so they are permanent.
