Most of the patients report that their vision improved significantly the very next day, with further improvement expected in the first 2 weeks. Vision improvement might be delayed up to 2 months in case of a hard cataract.

Each lens comes with its advantages and disadvantages. In principle, the MONOFOCAL offers a better quality of vision and the MULTIFOCAL gives more independence from reading glasses. The new EDOF (Extended Depth Of Focus) lenses, fits in the middle between the monofocal and multifocal, with similar quality of vision like the monofocal but less chance to be spectacles independent in comparison to multifocal. During the consultation, the patient will be provided with the choices that suit his needs.
