  A trifocal lens is a form of multifocal lenses, and a multifocal lens means an implant which is designed to give you the maximum range of vision, leaving you independent from all glasses as far as possible on a daily basis. There are different designs, and a trifocal tends to be a design which uses tiny rings on the surface of the lens. And that’s excellent at giving a wide range of focal abilities, but there are inevitably occasional drawbacks, for example, an awareness of these rings around points of light at night. This is something which is very much tailored to your needs and your lifestyle requirements, and our discussion with you will determine the best choice of IOL.
