FLACS With Multifocal IOL (Support Long-Term Visual Independence)

· Those in Bangkok seeking advanced cataract surgery with reduced dependence on glasses.
· Those with cataracts causing blurry vision at multiple distances.
· Those with mild astigmatism.
· Those who want to have clearer vision for both near and far tasks.
· Those who wish to have long-term, stable vision correction.

FLACS With Multifocal IOL is an advanced cataract surgery method that combines femtosecond laser technology with premium multifocal intraocular lenses. This method uses ultra-precise laser pulses to create openings in the lens capsule and soften the cataract, allowing the doctor at our affiliated hospital to remove the cloudy natural lens safely and efficiently. Multifocal IOLs are designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances, including near, intermediate, and far, reducing dependence on glasses. By combining laser precision with premium lenses, this method enhances the accuracy of lens placement and ensures proper centration, which is essential for optimal visual performance.

The benefits of FLACS With Multifocal IOL include improved overall vision quality and better visual independence from spectacles for daily activities such as reading, driving, and working with digital devices. The laser-assisted steps allow the doctor to achieve consistent results, reduce surgical risks, and minimize recovery time. Multifocal lenses help maintain a broader range of functional vision, while the precise placement ensures fewer visual disturbances such as glare or halos. This approach provides a long-term solution for cataract correction with the potential for more predictable and reliable outcomes compared to conventional surgery.

FLACS With Multifocal IOL begins with a consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital, where a comprehensive eye examination and necessary diagnostic tests are performed to assess eye health and determine suitability for multifocal lenses. Measurements of the cornea, lens, and overall eye structure are taken to plan the surgery precisely.

On the day of surgery, the femtosecond laser is used to perform key steps with high precision. The laser creates an exact opening in the lens capsule, softens the cataract, and pre-divides it into smaller pieces. These steps make removal easier, safer, and more controlled. Once the natural lens is removed, the doctor implants the multifocal IOL, carefully centering it to ensure optimal vision at near, intermediate, and far distances.

The procedure usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes per eye. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure due to local anesthesia. Recovery is generally quick, with basic vision improvement noticed within 7 days. Full adaptation to the multifocal lens and the best possible visual outcomes typically occurs over 4 to 6 weeks. Temporary glare or halos may occur during 1 to 2 weeks but usually diminish as the eyes adjust.

1. Consultation will be conducted by the doctor.
2. Local anesthesia will be applied.
3. Laser capsulotomy and lens softening will be done.
4. Cataract removal will be completed.
5. Multifocal IOL will be implanted.
6. A follow-up visit will be scheduled to monitor healing.

Q1: How is the lens centered in FLACS With Multifocal IOL?
A1: The femtosecond laser creates a precise opening in the lens capsule during FLACS With Multifocal IOL, allowing the lens to be accurately centered.

Q2: Can astigmatism be corrected with FLACS With Multifocal IOL?
A2: Yes, mild to moderate astigmatism can be corrected when FLACS With Multifocal IOL is performed.

Q3: How long do multifocal IOLs last in FLACS With Multifocal IOL?
A3: The multifocal lenses implanted during FLACS With Multifocal IOL are permanent and designed to last a lifetime.

Q4: Can both eyes undergo FLACS With Multifocal IOL on the same day?
A4: It is recommended to perform 1 eye at a time during FLACS With Multifocal IOL to monitor recovery before treating the second eye.

Q5: Can FLACS With Multifocal IOL correct both near and far vision simultaneously?
A5: Yes, the multifocal IOL implanted during FLACS With Multifocal IOL provides focus at multiple distances for reduced dependence on glasses.
