Who is a good candidate for this procedure?
Good candidates are adults with cataracts who also desire reduced dependence on glasses for distance, computer work, and reading. Ideal patients have healthy eyes without significant corneal irregularities, advanced glaucoma, or macular degeneration. Contraindications include uncontrolled diabetes, active eye infections, or previous retinal detachment. A thorough preoperative evaluation by an ophthalmologist is essential to confirm suitability, as trifocal IOLs require precise measurements and realistic expectations about potential nighttime glare or halos.
