The field of cataract surgery has come a long way, and patients have numerous premium intraocular lens (IOL) options to see clearly again. Among the most frequent dilemmas of cataract patients in recent times is selecting the optimal lens implant for their eyes – especially between Trifocal Lens and EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) Lens.
Both Trifocal lenses and EDOF lenses provide clear vision following cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange (RLE) but differ fundamentally in several areas that affect the quality of vision, range of focus, nighttime vision, and patient satisfaction in general.
You are planning cataract surgery and are confused about what type of lens you should have? This detailed guide will tell you:
You will have a clear idea of EDOF Lens vs. Trifocal Lens to make an informed choice about your eye health by the end of this article.
An EDOF Lens is a kind of high-end intraocular lens (IOL) offering extended range of vision from distance through to intermediate vision with very little compromise to vision quality.
The main objective of an EDOF lens is to extend the range of clear vision so that the patients are able to see:-
EDOF lenses employ sophisticated optical technology to extend the light focus over an array of distances, enabling the patient to view more clearly from distance through to intermediate without dividing light into different focal points (as with Trifocal Lenses).
The greatest advantage of EDOF lenses is that they offer:-
A Trifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) is a multifocal lens that allows for clear vision at three separate distances:-
Trifocal lenses divide light into three focal points enabling patients to see at all distances without the use of glasses. Therefore, they are perfectly suited to individuals desiring absolute spectacle independence following cataract surgery.
A Trifocal Lens has a unique concentric ring design that divides the incident light into three focal points (distance, intermediate, and near). This enables the patient to:-
Yet, Trifocal lenses sometimes create visual disturbances like:
Whether you should have an EDOF Lens vs. Trifocal Lens is determined by:-
The prices of EDOF lenses and Trifocal lenses differ depending on the hospital, surgeon skill, and location.
Lens Type – Approximate Cost (Per Eye)
EDOF Lens – Rs 60,000 – Rs 90,000
Trifocal Lens – Rs 70,000 – Rs 100,000
Deciding between an EDOF Lens and a Trifocal Lens relies solely on your lifestyle, vision expectations, and personal preferences.
