9.Is a multifocal lens recommended for every patient?

No. It is recommended for most patients, but not for patients who have problems with their retina, advanced glaucoma, irregular corneal astigmatism, corneal diseases or optic neuropathy. If you are happy using reading glasses to correct your near vision, you may not want or need to use Multifocal Intraocular Lenses. In addition, your doctor will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a multifocal lens as it pertains to your individual lifestyle and expectations. Patients with unrealistic expectations may not be appropriate for multifocal lenses.
