Innovation in Multifocal IOLs - The expert's standpoint on a new trifocal diffractive lens
Phsysiol recently introduced the FineVision Micro F IOL, a multifocal IOL that combines two diffractive structures, one with a 3.50 D addition for near vision and one with a 1.75 D addition for intermediate vision. The result of this trifocal lens design, developed in cooperation with Damien Gatinel, MD, PhD, of Paris, is a significant improvement in intermediate vision while maintaining the far and near visual performance associated with multifocal IOLs.
