Multifocal Toric IOL (Restore Natural Sight And Daily Function)

· Those in Bangkok looking for advanced cataract surgery with reduced dependence on glasses.
· Those with cataracts and astigmatism.
· Those with poor intermediate vision, such as trouble using computers or smartphones.
· Those who want to see clearly at multiple distances — near, intermediate, and far.
· Those who wish to reduce or eliminate their reliance on eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Multifocal Toric IOL is an advanced intraocular lens that is implanted during cataract surgery to replace the eye’s natural lens once it becomes cloudy. Cataracts often cause blurred vision, glare, and difficulty with daily activities, while astigmatism and presbyopia add further challenges by distorting vision and reducing the ability to focus at different distances. The Multifocal Toric Lens is designed to correct all of these conditions together, offering a more complete solution than a standard lens.

The unique design of this intraocular lens combines 2 functions. The toric component corrects astigmatism by compensating for the irregular shape of the cornea, ensuring that light focuses precisely on the retina. At the same time, the multifocal component provides multiple focal points, allowing clearer vision at near, intermediate, and far ranges. This dual action not only restores clarity but also creates smoother transitions between different visual tasks such as reading, using a computer, and driving.

The benefits extend beyond clear sight. With this lens, many patients experience reduced dependence on eyeglasses, greater convenience in daily routines, and a more active lifestyle with fewer visual limitations. Enhanced confidence while performing activities such as reading menus, recognizing faces, or driving at various times of the day is another key advantage.

Multifocal Toric IOL begins by a consultation with the doctor at our affiliated hospital, where a full eye examination and precise measurements of the cornea are performed to determine suitability. The doctor will explain the options, answer questions, and plan the surgery based on vision needs and lifestyle.

The surgery itself is usually performed as a day procedure and typically takes 15 to 30 minutes per eye under local anesthesia. A very small incision is made, the cloudy natural lens affected by cataracts is gently removed, and the Multifocal Toric IOL is implanted. The lens is carefully aligned to match the orientation of the cornea, ensuring both astigmatism correction and multifocal vision work effectively together.

The main benefits include sharper vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, reduced dependence on glasses, and improved confidence in daily activities such as reading, driving, or using digital devices. Most patients can return to light activities within 1 to 2 days, although an adjustment period of 4 to 6 weeks may be needed for the brain to adapt fully to multifocal vision.

1. Consultation will be conducted with the doctor.

Q1: How is Multifocal Toric IOL different from a regular intraocular lens?
A1: A standard lens usually corrects vision at only one distance. Multifocal Toric IOL, on the other hand, is designed to correct multiple distances and astigmatism at the same time, giving clearer and more stable results.

Q2: Will glasses still be needed after Multifocal Toric IOL?
A2: Multifocal Toric IOL greatly reduces the need for glasses. Many patients no longer require them for most daily tasks, although some may still prefer glasses for very fine print or in dim light.

Q3: How long does Multifocal Toric IOL last once implanted?
A3: Multifocal Toric IOL is designed to last a lifetime. Unlike contact lenses or glasses, it does not need replacement once implanted during cataract surgery.

Q4: Can both eyes receive Multifocal Toric IOL?
A4: Yes, both eyes can be treated with Multifocal Toric IOL, usually on separate days. Implanting the lens in both eyes often gives the best balance and sharpness across all distances.

Q5: Can sports or physical activities be resumed after Multifocal Toric IOL?
A5: Most patients can return to sports and physical activities within 2 to 3 weeks after a Multifocal Toric IOL.
