They are very safe. Millions have been implanted worldwide and the risk of problems is exceptionally low. If you work, how soon you can return will largely depend on your type of job and if you need new glasses. Using your eye drops Approximately 5-10% of patients are also aware of “rings” or “circles” in their vision when viewing bright lights such as car brake lights. These rings emanate from the circular zones on the lens surface which allow for the trifocality. The glare from these rings is rarely troublesome but can be noticeable.
You may have a pad and plastic shield over your treated eye when you leave hospital, which can usually be removed the day after surgery. These lenses carry significant extra cost because of their design complexity and relative rarity. They work by simultaneously providing the eye with three focal lengths of vision; distance, intermediate (computer screens) and near and then asking your eye and brain to “tune in” to which objects it wants to see. Cataract surgery and RLE take approximately 10 minutes per eye. We usually operate on both eyes 1-2 weeks apart, but both eyes on the same day is sometimes performed if deemed the best thing for your needs and can be standard practice for some surgeons. There are two main types of lens: monofocaland multifocal/trifocal. Both types are also available in toric (astigmatism reducing) variants.
Cane tips and accessories
Before you leave hospital, you'll be given some eye drops to help your eye heal and prevent infection.
The glasses I choose to wear are from the RNIB – However, there are a lot of other companies and organisation out there providing both Wrap Arounds and Fit Overs. The glasses in this post can be found here at the Royal National Institute for The Blind At this appointment, you may be given advice on when to stop using your eye drops and when to apply for new glasses. How to apply eye drops Mr Lindfield qualified in medicine at the University of SouthamptonMedical School in 2004 before going on to complete specialist trainingin hospitals throughout Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and London. This included work atthree teaching hospitals and a glaucoma surgical fellowship at St Thomas' Hospital in London, giving him a wealth of invaluable experience in treating a range of ophthalmological conditions. He was appointed consultant ophthalmologist in 2013 and fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in the same year. Mr Lindfield currently sees private patients at Farnham Eye Care and Guildford Eye Care, which is based at the Royal Surrey County Hospital.

Green tint, like amber, gives high contrast for all eye conditions but can be worn indoors as well as outdoors. It’s also suitable when other tint colours ‘feel too bright’. Green tint is also the best colour tint if you suffer wit migraines at all, wether visually impaired or not.
Mr Dan Lindfield is a multi-award-winning consultant ophthalmologist and cataract surgeonin Guildford and Farnham who specialises in cataracts, glaucoma surgery, including laser therapies for glaucoma, such as SLT, trabeculectomy, and minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). This is a technique to allow the benefits of monofocal lenses (relatively low cost and very low risk of adverse visual effects) whilst reducing the need for reading glasses. They have no “shelf life”. Once implanted they will last a lifetime and do not require changing in the future.

Patient satisfaction with monofocal lenses is high and very few negative effects have been reported. However, enablinga change of focal length (e.g. for reading or computer use) often requires the addition of reading glasses. Feeling should start to return to your eye within a few hours of surgery, but it may take a few days for your vision to fully return. I definitely recommend patients ask their surgeon which lens they think is right for them. Your surgeon will have many years of experience and will know what is most appropriate for your eye, lifestyle and expectations. There is a lot of science here but lens selection is also an art and a skill. These state of the art implants potentially allow for complete freedom of glasses. However, in practice, most patients feel that they are less dependent on glasses but still occasionally use them for prolonged periods of close work, such as reading a good book. Greater differences between the two eyes can allow for complete freedom of both reading and distance glasses for some patients but with the increasing disparity between the eyes, there is an increased awareness of the two eyes being imbalanced. This technique can be discussed with your surgeon along with tests to identify which eye is dominant. Mr Dan Lindfield explains that it is not suitable for all patients and takes skill, experience and judgement to perfect this technique.
