An extended-range-of-vision lens is designed to provide useful vision across more than one distance.
For patients who want more flexibility than a traditional monofocal lens but may not be candidates for - or may not want - a fully multifocal approach, an extended-range option may be worth considering.
Clear distance vision
Useful intermediate vision
Greater visual range for everyday activities
Less dependence on glasses for some activities
A vision profile that may be well suited for activities such as driving
Glasses may still be helpful for certain close-up activities, particularly fine print or prolonged reading.
Your surgeon will evaluate your eyes and discuss whether an extended-range lens is appropriate for you.
