Author: Dr. Victor Derhartunian 30 July 2021

Dr. Paul Jirak explains what a multifocal lens is.

A multifocal lens is a special lens for correcting presbyopia.
A sharp image is created simultaneously for distance, intermediate distance and near vision.
This makes it possible to be largely spectacle-free.
Possible disadvantages of a multifocal lens are reduced contrast vision and stray light phenomena at night.
