Important Considerations
- Multifocal/EDOF lenses may not be suitable with macular disease, significant glaucoma, or irregular corneas.
- LAL requires UV-blocking eyewear for ~2–3 weeks and several post-op light adjustment visits.
- Apthera (IC-8) is designed for one eye only, typically paired with a monofocal in the other eye.
- Most premium lenses involve neuroadaptation over 3–6 months; final candidacy depends on comprehensive testing.
