Refractive Lens Exchange (Multifocal/EDOF IOL)
Consideration by a specialist is possible when presbyopia significantly affects near vision, there is a desire to reduce dependence on glasses, or early lens changes/astigmatism need to be corrected together. The decision is based on refractive error, corneal and macular condition, pupil and tear fi

How Refractive Lens Exchange (Multifocal/EDOF IOL) is performed
This procedure centers on the implantation of an artificial lens, with options for multifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), and astigmatism-correcting models (if applicable). Typically, a small incision is made under a microscope to enter the eye, the lens with reduced accommodation is removed by phacoemulsification, and then the artificial lens is placed in the capsular bag and adjusted for positioning; femtosecond laser assistance is used when necessary. Postoperative monitoring includes eye pressure, corneal transparency, and refractive status, with the goal of achieving a balance between distance, intermediate, and near vision. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
