Trifocal lenses, also known as smart lenses, provide clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. They allow you to perform various activities without glasses, such as reading books, using a computer, driving a car, and seeing your phone screen.
Common Trifocal Lenses:
Alcon Panoptix
Zeiss Acrilisa Tri
Johnson & Johnson Synergy

How is Trifocal Lens Smart Lens Surgery Performed?
Smart lens surgery is a quick and painless procedure performed under local anesthesia. This procedure, which takes an average of 8-10 minutes, involves placing an artificial lens into the eye through a small incision. The surgery is completely stitch-free.
Post-Surgery:
Recovery is fast, and you can usually be discharged on the same day.
Two-Eye Surgery:
The time between surgeries for both eyes should be kept short for better adaptation. In some cases, both eyes can be operated on the same day.
In the First Days:
You may see halos and glare around lights. This condition will decrease over time with the neuroadaptation process.

Durability and Lifespan of Trifocal Smart Lenses
Smart lenses do not have a lifespan, meaning once placed, they do not require replacement or renewal. After surgery, your eye prescription stabilizes and does not change again. These lenses also prevent the formation of cataracts, as the natural eye lens is completely replaced with an artificial lens.
