What is the best lens for lens replacement?

It depends on your eyes, work and hobbies. Ms Pearsall recommends a lens only after full scans and a discussion of your priorities.

Are trifocal lenses worth it?

For many people who want to be largely free of glasses, yes. They are not suitable for everyone, particularly people with some macular or corneal conditions.

What is the difference between multifocal and EDOF?

Multifocal and trifocal lenses split light into several focal points. EDOF lenses stretch one focal point to give a continuous range, usually with fewer halos but less near vision.

How much does lens replacement cost?

Lens replacement with Ms Pearsall starts from £2,750 per eye. Your exact price depends on the lens chosen and is confirmed in writing after your consultation.

Choosing an artificial lens

Monofocal, Multifocal, Trifocal and EDOF Lenses Compared

The lens implanted during cataract surgery or lens replacement stays in your eye for life, so choosing the right type matters. Each design balances clarity, range of focus and night-time glare differently. There is no single best lens, only the best lens for your eyes and lifestyle.

Monofocal: sharp vision at one distance, usually far
EDOF: good distance and intermediate, fewer halos
Trifocal: distance, computer and reading vision
Lens choice guided by scans and your priorities

Questions that guide your lens choice

Do you mind wearing reading glasses?
How much do you drive at night?
Do you spend long hours on screens?
Do you have any other eye conditions, such as macular disease or glaucoma?

How the lens types compare

All lenses give clear vision when matched well to the eye. The trade-off is usually between range of focus and the chance of halos or glare at night.

Monofocal: highest contrast, reading glasses usually needed
EDOF: extended range with low risk of halos
Trifocal: widest range, some halos around lights at first
Toric versions of each correct astigmatism

Adapting to your new lens

Most people adapt quickly. With trifocal lenses the brain may take a few weeks to adjust fully and halos usually become less noticeable.

Vision often clear within days
Night halos tend to fade over weeks to months
