As a library, NLM provides access to scientific literature. Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, Approximately 5-10% of patients are also aware of “rings” or “circles” in their vision when viewing bright lights such as car brake lights. These rings emanate from the circular zones on the lens surface which allow for the trifocality. The glare from these rings is rarely troublesome but can be noticeable. Since my partial sight loss, I struggle with the change in light conditions. If I move from a darker to a brighter environment, my eyes take time to adjust and also cause me some discomfort. Also, because I have difficulty with contrast, I find that wearing eye shields make things easier. There are different glasses / eye shields to choose from: During the operation, you’ll just experience a bright light, sensations or water around the eye and you’ll hear our theatre music. You don’t see any of the “work” happening. Some patients even see kaleidoscopic colours and patterns during surgery. When the operation is complete, you’ll sit up with a clear eye shield over the eye.

Patient satisfaction with monofocal lenses is high and very few negative effects have been reported. However, enablinga change of focal length (e.g. for reading or computer use) often requires the addition of reading glasses.This is a technique to allow the benefits of monofocal lenses (relatively low cost and very low risk of adverse visual effects) whilst reducing the need for reading glasses. They are produced in sterile medical facilities and many lenses are not even handled in theatre. They are injected into the eye via a sterile introducing device without requiring the lens to be handled by the surgical team. Monofocal lenses perform very well in low sun, dim light or in the presence of other eye diseases (which may preclude the use of trifocal lenses). Cataract surgery and RLE take approximately 10 minutes per eye. We usually operate on both eyes 1-2 weeks apart, but both eyes on the same day is sometimes performed if deemed the best thing for your needs and can be standard practice for some surgeons. There is often a learning curve associated with these lenses but within a few weeks, patients can often see clearly for distance and near tasks. It must be stated, however, that these lenses function their best in good light. They sometimes perform less well in dim light.

Mr Dan Lindfield is a multi-award-winning consultant ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon in Guildford and Farnham. To make an appointment with him, head to his Top Doctors profile. There are two main types of lens: monofocaland multifocal/trifocal. Both types are also available in toric (astigmatism reducing) variants. Mr Lindfield qualified in medicine at the University of SouthamptonMedical School in 2004 before going on to complete specialist trainingin hospitals throughout Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and London. This included work atthree teaching hospitals and a glaucoma surgical fellowship at St Thomas' Hospital in London, giving him a wealth of invaluable experience in treating a range of ophthalmological conditions. He was appointed consultant ophthalmologist in 2013 and fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in the same year. Mr Lindfield currently sees private patients at Farnham Eye Care and Guildford Eye Care, which is based at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. I definitely recommend patients ask their surgeon which lens they think is right for them. Your surgeon will have many years of experience and will know what is most appropriate for your eye, lifestyle and expectations. There is a lot of science here but lens selection is also an art and a skill.These lenses carry significant extra cost because of their design complexity and relative rarity. They work by simultaneously providing the eye with three focal lengths of vision; distance, intermediate (computer screens) and near and then asking your eye and brain to “tune in” to which objects it wants to see. Our range of eyewear is light and easy to wear, and some can even be worn over your existing prescription glasses. Read the five-step guide to getting the right sunglasses from our Sight Loss Advice Service. They are very safe. Millions have been implanted worldwide and the risk of problems is exceptionally low.

Trifocal lenses can be well suited to you but Mr Lindfield reassures that he or your chosen doctor will go through a process to ensure they fit with your requirement and your eyes are suitable.Mr Dan Lindfield is a multi-award-winning consultant ophthalmologist and cataract surgeonin Guildford and Farnham who specialises in cataracts, glaucoma surgery, including laser therapies for glaucoma, such as SLT, trabeculectomy, and minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).
