Add-on lens implant

Add-on lens implant

Do you have a monofocal lens after cataract surgery and want to reduce your need for reading glasses? A trifocal add-on lens is placed in front of your existing lens and can reduce your need for glasses at near, intermediate and distance. At the examination we assess whether the treatment suits your eyes.

How an add-on lens works

A trifocal add-on lens after cataract surgery can reduce the need for glasses at near, intermediate and distance. Glasses may still be needed. Other add-on lenses are used for residual refractive errors.

The lens is placed in front of your existing artificial lens, which is kept. It can be surgically removed or exchanged, but that requires a further operation with its own risks, and does not guarantee that your vision will be exactly as it was before treatment.

Trifocal lenses can cause rings around lights, glare and reduced contrast. These symptoms may lessen over time, but they can also persist. Surgical risks include infection, inflammation, raised pressure and loss of vision. Further treatment may be required.

The ophthalmologist assesses suitability and goes through the alternatives and the risks with you at the free examination.

Frequently asked questions about add-on lenses

FAQ

Who is an add-on lens for?

Someone who already has a monofocal lens in place after cataract surgery, sees well at one distance, and would like to do without reading glasses for near and intermediate work.

At the pre-examination we measure the eye and go through your eye health. If other conditions are affecting your vision, a trifocal lens is not always the right choice, and we will say so.

FAQ

How much glare and haloing should I expect?

Trifocal lenses split the light between three distances, and that shows at night: rings around light sources and glare, particularly when driving. It is common during the first few months.

For most people the symptoms fade as the brain adapts to the new optics. We follow you at the return visits and go through how you are finding your vision in the dark.

FAQ

Can the lens be removed if I am not happy with it?

Yes. The add-on lens can be surgically removed or exchanged if needed, while your existing lens is kept. That requires a further operation with its own risks. The fact that the lens can be removed is not a guarantee that your vision will be exactly as it was before treatment. We assess the cause of the problem and go through the alternatives with you.

FAQ

How long after my cataract surgery can this be done?

There is no upper limit. It can be done months or years after your first lens was implanted, as long as the eye is stable and otherwise healthy.

The procedure takes about 10 minutes per eye, and most people are back to everyday life after one to two days.

FAQ

What does an add-on lens cost?

A trifocal add-on lens costs SEK 50,000 for both eyes. The price includes the free examination and our 6-year Peace of Mind Guarantee.

At the examination we go through your measurements and the health of your eye to establish whether the treatment is suitable for you.

How does an add-on lens treatment work?

Before your Add-on lens treatment

Before treatment you have a detailed examination. We measure the refractive error and assess the health of the eye. The ophthalmologist decides whether a trifocal add-on lens is suitable and goes through the alternatives, the expected result and the risks with you.

The lens is chosen from your measurements and your visual needs, and is placed in front of your existing artificial lens. The add-on lens can be surgically removed or exchanged if needed, but that requires a further operation with its own risks.

You also get to meet your personal patient coordinator, who guides you through the entire process and tells you more about our 6-year Peace of Mind Guarantee, which is included. The guarantee covers the refractive correction: if a refractive error remains or develops after your first treatment, we offer additional vision-correction treatment at no extra cost within six years. It does not cover the investigation or treatment of other eye conditions, such as dry eye or vitreous floaters.

  • Personal patient coordinator

  • Free follow-up visits for six years

  • Medication during the initial healing period (two weeks)

  • Additional vision-correction treatment at no extra cost for a remaining or new refractive error

After your Add-on lens treatment

Recovery varies. Vision may improve early, but settling and adapting to the new optics takes longer. Slight grittiness can occur during the first few days.

Follow the prescription for your eye drops and the individual instructions you are given on hygiene, physical activity and return visits. Avoid rubbing the eye. When you return to driving, work and exercise depends on your vision and your healing.

Contact the clinic immediately if you have increasing pain, marked redness or worsening vision. New flashes of light, many new floaters or a shadow in your field of vision need prompt assessment. If you cannot reach the clinic, seek emergency eye care.

At the return visits we check healing, the position of the lens and the visual result.
