There isn’t one that is always better. It depends on your eyes and lifestyle. If you want to see at multiple distances without glasses, we consider multifocal; if you drive a lot at night or your contrast sensitivity is reduced, we consider monofocal.

We do not recommend them for people in occupations where glare, halos, or light sensitivity would be a problem, for people who drive frequently at night, and for night taxi or truck drivers. The same applies in cases of advanced glaucoma with reduced contrast sensitivity, retinal diseases such as macular degeneration or macular pucker, optic nerve atrophy, or when the pupil is congenitally too small or too large.

Because the optics split focus across multiple distances, light can appear scattered and you may notice glare. This is why we do not recommend multifocal lenses for those who drive a lot at night.

You will need glasses for distances not targeted by your focus. If set for far distance, you will use glasses for reading; if set for near, you will use glasses for distance.

It varies by person. We check during follow-up whether the difference in focus between your two eyes bothers you, so we can't give a fixed timeframe.

We decide together based on whether your work involves more distance or near tasks, and how much you read. There is no single right answer, so we ask in detail about your daily life.

We do not promise that. It means the distances requiring glasses may decrease, not that you will be glasses-free at all distances.

We first measure corneal astigmatism and review lenses tailored to it. The options depend on the degree of astigmatism.

Our main lens is TECNIS Odyssey, and we also offer TECNIS Synergy, TECNIS PureSee, TECNIS Eyhance, PanOptix, PanOptix Pro and Vivity. Rather than relying on a single lens, we choose according to your test results and lifestyle.

If satisfaction is low after a premium lens implant, we have a process to discuss lens exchange along with additional consultation. Conditions and steps are confirmed during consultation.

One option is to target one eye for distance and the other for near. However, we need to check whether the focus difference between the two eyes bothers you, so we decide together during consultation.

We first identify the cause. We determine whether it is due to the lens or another eye disease, and then decide the next steps.

If glaucoma is advanced with reduced contrast sensitivity, we do not recommend it, because multifocals can make your vision feel darker and more constricted. We assess the severity with intraocular pressure and optic nerve tests, and, based on the results, we also consider monofocal lenses.
