How does the Tecnis multifocal lens work?
The TECNIS® multifocal IOL was designed using wavefront technology. This technology is used to correct optical aberrations (visual distortion) that can cause glare, halos, and a lesser visual quality. The TECNIS® is a diffractive lens with concentric rings of different power that provide vision at near and distance.
What is Tecnis multifocal?
The Tecnis Multifocal lens technology is designed to provide a full range of vision, near, distance, and intermediate-after cataract treatment, or refractive lens exchange. The Tecnis Multifocal lens not only treats cataracts, but it may also eliminate your need for glasses for everyday activities.
What is tecnis IOL?
The TECNIS Synergy™ Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses implanted in the eyes of adults to correct vision after the natural lenses have been removed due to cataracts. Cataracts, or cloudiness of the natural lens, are often the result of aging, but can have other causes.
What is the cost of multifocal IOL?
For a multifocal lens, there are extra costs ranging from $1,500 to $4,000; however, costs can fall outside of those ranges as well.
What is the best cataract lens?
Patients who need cataract surgery and have astigmatism may benefit most from a premium lens called a toric lens. Astigmatism causes a change in the physical structure of the cornea, causing it to be a figure-eight or football shape.
How much do multifocal lens implants cost?
The total cost of surgery will vary greatly per individual and insurance coverage. In general, expect to spend $1,000 – $4,000 out-of-pocket for the procedure.Be sure to reach out to your insurance carrier directly to inquire about coverage levels and surgery costs.
Why are multifocal lenses so expensive?
More expensive than single-vision lenses and bifocal lenses. Progressive lenses are more expensive because you’re basically getting three eyeglasses in one. In addition, you’re paying for the convenience and extra time that goes into creating a multifocal eyeglass with no lines.
What is a ReSTOR lens?

What is a Tecnis IOL for computer vision?
Well, there’s not a lot of information available on it but after a bit of research it appears to be a modified TECNIS® multifocal. The current TECNIS® multifocal IOL provides good distance and near vision without spectacles. Intermediate (computer) vision, however, is this IOL’s weak point.
Does the Tecnis ® toric II IOL work for astigmatism?
The clinical study of the TECNIS ® Toric 1-Piece IOL did not show evidence of effectiveness for the treatment of preoperative corneal astigmatism of less than one diopter. Rotation of the TECNIS ® Multifocal Toric II IOL away from its intended axis can reduce its astigmatic correction.
What are Tecnis lenses used for?
INDICATIONS. The TECNIS® Multifocal 1-Piece Intraocular Lenses are indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia in adult patients with and without presbyopia in whom a cataractous lens has been removed by phacoemulsification and who desire near, intermediate, and distance vision with increased spectacle independence.
