About EDOF IOL (Extended Depth of Focus)
The lens is implanted during cataract or refractive lens exchange surgery, under local or topical anaesthesia with light sedation. A 2 to 3 mm corneal incision is made, the natural lens is broken up and removed, and the folded EDOF lens is positioned in the capsule. Surgery takes around 15 to 20 minutes per eye.
EDOF lenses stretch the range of focus into a single elongated zone rather than splitting light into separate zones, so halos and glare are usually milder than with multifocal lenses. Very fine print may still need reading glasses. Results depend on accurate measurements, healthy eyes, any astigmatism being corrected and realistic expectations.
Most people stay about a week for the first-day and one-week reviews, with the second eye done a few days after the first if needed. Bring your glasses prescription, and any corneal or retinal records. Arrange a check at home after about a month, since the final prescription settles over several weeks.
Usually a good fit if
- Cataract or presbyopia wanting good distance and intermediate vision with fewer glasses.
- Healthy macula and cornea.
- Realistic expectation that reading small print may still need glasses.
- Low to moderate astigmatism, or a toric EDOF version if higher.
May need to wait if
- Macular degeneration, advanced glaucoma or other retinal disease that limits vision.
- Irregular cornea or high uncorrected astigmatism not addressed by toric option.
- Expectation of complete glasses independence.
- Active eye infection or severe dry eye.
How to prepare
- Complete detailed biometry, corneal topography and a macular OCT scan; bring any previous laser eye surgery details.
- Discuss your daily visual needs, such as computer work and driving, with your surgeon.
- Treat dry eye or blepharitis before measurements, if advised.
- Review your medicines with your doctor; do not stop any without instruction.
- Arrange transport home on the day.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- How does the EDOF lens differ from a multifocal or monofocal in my case?
- Will I need glasses for reading?
- What are the glare and halo risks?
- Is a toric version needed for my astigmatism?
- What happens if I do not adapt?
- Who provides aftercare at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Promising complete freedom from glasses.
- No corneal mapping or macular scan.
- Not explaining the near vision limitation.
- No record of the lens model implanted.
