You may wonder what is the difference between Monofocal IOLs and Extended Depth of Focus IOL.

The differences between Monofocal IOLs and Extended Depth of Focus IOL are the following:

  • Monofocal IOLs only fix vision in one area of Focus, typically distance. Therefore, glasses may be required to see for near and mid-length distance activities. 
  • On the other hand, Extended Depth of Focus IOL gives patients a continuous high-quality vision range. This means that you can see near, far, and mid-range distances! This may even reduce your need to rely on glasses for your vision!
