Cataract surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in Canada and worldwide

Serious postoperative complications are uncommon

Patients require glasses for near vision after standard cataract surgery

One way to eliminate the need for glasses is to use multifocal intraocular lenses

Another way to eliminate the need for glasses is monovision, whereby the power of the intraocular lens is chosen to enable midrange or near vision in one eye and distance vision in the other eye
