What is Smart Lens Surgery?
Smart lens surgery is a surgical procedure where the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with multifocal or trifocal lenses. It is commonly performed for cataract treatment but is also used to correct vision problems such as myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism. Smart lenses improve clarity at far, intermediate, and near distances, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.

- Evaluation and Preparation: Your eye doctor will assess your eye health and suitability for surgery.
- Anesthesia: Usually local anesthesia is applied; the eye is numbed with drops, and the patient feels no pain.
- Removal of the Old Lens: The cloudy or defective lens is broken up with ultrasonic energy and removed through a small incision.
- Placement of the New Lens: The artificial smart lens is implanted inside the eye to optimize vision.
- Recovery: There is a short recovery period, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
