What problems are associated with presbyopia-correcting IOLs?
Reports indicate that even experienced cataract surgeons needed to perform enhancements for 13 percent to 15 percent of cases involving use of different presbyopia-correcting IOLs. This means you and your surgeon must be prepared to undergo a few extra steps (if needed), if you do want independence from eyeglasses. Some multifocal lenses may cause vision disturbances such as glare and halos around light at night. In extremely rare cases, as is true with any intraocular lens and cataract surgery, you may experience permanent vision loss in cases such as widespread infection.
