Question: Why is it necessary to do both eyes if
choosing multifocal lens implants?
Answer: Multifocallens implants and really any type of more complex lens implant design does seem
to provide the best results only after them placed in both eyes. Within the
brain you are accustomed to seeing with two eyes. by using a multifocal lens
implant in only one eye it creates a less refined image quality with the visual
cortex of the brain-just as your vision would be somewhat less precise if you
needed bifocals and had only one bifocal lens place in your eyeglasses.
Binocular vision helps the brain interpret images by sending more information.
In most instances cataract surgery and lens implants in both eyes provide a
better overall quality of vision and greater comfort overall as the two eyes
are more closely balanced. Thus, even for those having routine simpler implants
the visual result is better after both eyes have been done.
