Trifocal-/ Multifocal Lens Surgery
No more glasses!
Whether reading your smartphone or a newspaper, if you have to read the text at an ever-increasing distance, then here is the vision impairment in the close range. Presbyopia onsets at around 45 years of age, when reading and viewing close objects becomes increasingly more difficult. Reading glasses are then needed to see clearly. People who already wear glasses for distance vision, then need a second pair; or progressive lenses.
We implant the latest generation of trifocal/multifocal lenses to give you clear near, middle and distance vision. This is a first-class method of correcting your presbyopia and enables you to live life long without glasses.
You can feel safe with us: LEC London as member of EuroEyes has performed the most trifocal lens implantations worldwide.
4 Steps in a refractive Lens Exchange Procedure
1. Preparation of the Eye
2. Removal of the Lens
3. The Trifocal-/Multifocal Lens
4. Implantation of the Trifocal-/Multifocal Lens
The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes 15 minutes per eye. Before the procedure, the eye is anesthetized with drops so that the patient does not feel any pain during refractive lens exchange. The eye is opened with a tiny corneal incision, which heals seamlessly.
The anterior lens envelope is opened in a circular fashion. Then the lens core is removed. The rest of the lens envelope remains and serves as a ‘holding apparatus’ for the new lens.
Each patient receives a trifocal/multifocal lens that is ideally adapted to his or her individual needs. This well-tolerated artificial lens can remain permanently in the eye and is not visible.
The surgeon inserts the new lens into the eye with an injector. The lens unfolds and is properly placed in the empty lens envelope by the surgeon. The trifocal/multifocal lens corrects presbyopia in addition to other existing vision disorders (near-, farsightedness and astigmatism).

We use trifocal and multifocal lenses of the latest generation.
They have patented high-performance optics and open up the possibility for you to see everyday life clearly without any aid, providing high quality near, intermediate and distance vision.
The Trifocal Premium lenses are manufactured with computer-controlled diamond tools.
This means the highest possible precision and optical premium quality for you.
The optics of the lenses are manufactured using the patented SMP technology:
A special process reduces stray light phenomena, which always occur with trifocal/multifocal lenses, to an absolute minimum. The positive effect: less glare and fewer halos! Aspherical optics provide optimized image quality and improved contrast vision.
Lenses protect the sensitive retina and are optionally equipped with an extended light protection filter in addition to a UV filter.
This protective function is used in ophthalmology, especially for the prevention of macular degeneration (AMD). No matter whether presbyopia or cataract, whether nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, clinical studies show that 97% of people operated on no longer need glasses after implantation of trifocal and multifocal lenses.

Stevens story
My name is Steven S. and I come from the beautiful town of Bath. I developed presbyopia in my early 40s and I thought that’s just the way it is. As I am also short-sighted, the subject of glasses was nothing new to me.
However, I usually wore contact lenses as I felt restricted by my glasses in many situations. It became increasingly annoying with reading glasses. Because I always misplaced my reading glasses, I ended up having reading glasses in almost every room in my house. When I was out and about, I had almost got used to not looking at my smartphone or small texts, as I didn’t want to take my reading glasses with me all the time.

The procedure not only restricted me, no, it really started to get on my nerves and so I decided to give myself a special present for my 47th birthday. I started to inform myself about laser eye treatments. Then I came across LEC. I made an appointment and although I have to admit that I was a bit scared of this step.
What happens if something goes wrong during the operation? After just 5 minutes at the consultation, I was convinced to take this step.
The whole procedure was surprisingly straightforward and I felt I was in the best hands with LEC. The operation only took 10 minutes and I was able to return to work after just 3 days. Today I enjoy my new freedom every day anew and can only recommend everyone to take this step too.
