Can multifocal lenses be used for everyone getting cataract surgery or are there certain patients who shouldn't get them Also is phaco really the best option or are there other techniques that might work better for some people
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Multifocal lenses, while beneficial for many, aren't suitable for everyone undergoing cataract surgery. Certain individuals may experience visual disturbances or have underlying eye conditions that make multifocal lenses less effective or even contraindicated. Phacoemulsification (phaco) is a common and effective technique, but other options, like laser-assisted cataract surgery, offer different advantages for some patients
