EDOF Lenses

EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) lenses are a type of intraocular lens technology designed to provide a smoother transition of vision across different distances.

They may be used during cataract surgery or lens replacement surgery.

In recent years, they have become an option frequently considered by people who rely heavily on distance and intermediate vision in daily life.

How Do EDOF Lenses Work?

Rather than dividing vision into several separate focal points, EDOF lenses aim to extend the range of focus.

For this reason, many patients describe a more natural visual experience in daily life.

They may provide comfortable vision for activities such as walking, shopping, socialising, computer use and other daily tasks.

Features of EDOF Lenses

• Designed to provide a broad range of vision between distance and intermediate ranges.
• Focuses on viewing distances commonly used in daily life.
• Has an optical design intended to extend the range of focus rather than divide vision into separate focal points.
• Near-vision performance may vary from person to person.

What Is Near Vision Like?

Near-vision performance may vary depending on the lens model and individual characteristics.

While many people achieve comfortable vision in daily life, reading glasses may occasionally be needed, particularly for small print or prolonged near work.

Who May Consider EDOF Lenses?

They may be considered for people who use computers extensively, frequently rely on distance and intermediate vision, or seek a balance between quality of vision and reduced dependence on glasses.

How Is the Final Decision Made?

Today, there are different intraocular lens options, including monofocal, toric, multifocal and EDOF lenses.

Each has different areas in which it may offer advantages.

The most appropriate lens is therefore determined by considering the examination findings together with the individual's expectations.
