Extended Range of Vision Lens

More Range Between Distance and Near

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.


Potential benefits include:

  • 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.
