die gängigsten multifokalen Linsen zusammengefasst und die wichtigsten Aspekte für
den klinischen Alltag dargestellt.
Abstract
Lens exchange surgery is the most common performed surgical ophthalmological procedure
worldwide. The intraocular lens (IOL) is placed into the capsular bag. The power of
the IOL decides whether afterwards the patient will be able to see objects in the
far or near distance without glasses. Due to constant development of the IOL design
in nowadays it is however possible to implant a lens which has multiple foci and consequently
allows the patient to see in several distances. In this review article we summarize
the most critical points which need to be considered when placement of a multifocal
lens is planned in lens exchange surgery. Additionally, we present an overview of
the currently available trifocal IOLs and IOLs with an extended depth of focus. We
furthermore discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the multifocal IOLs as compared
to monofocal IOLs.
