PanOptix trifocal

383 views

PanOptix is a trifocal IOL. At 6 meters, it appears slightly hazier, as if foggy, compared to a monofocal IOL. As the target comes closer it gradually becomes blurrier, then becomes clear again at about 75 cm before blurring once more, and becomes clear again at about 55 cm before blurring again.

Vision through the mobile model eye

PanOptix, day, building, pupil 3.8 mm

Compared to a monofocal intraocular lens, distant buildings appear slightly hazy, as if covered in fog. This is a phenomenon typically seen in diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses.

PanOptix, night, building, pupil 4.8 mm, glare

At night, the glare around bright lights appears prominent compared to a monofocal intraocular lens. This is a phenomenon typically seen with diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses. It appears more prominent when the pupil size is larger.

PanOptix is a trifocal intraocular lens.
At 6 meters it appears slightly hazy, as if fogged, compared to a monofocal intraocular lens.
As the target gets closer it gradually blurs, then becomes clear again at about 75 cm, blurs again, becomes clear at about 55 cm, and then appears blurred again.

Compared with a monofocal intraocular lens, halos are seen around bright lights (traffic lights, vehicle headlights, tail lights).
This is a phenomenon typically seen with diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses.
It appears more prominent when the pupil is large.

The specifications above are based on data provided by the IOL manufacturer or its distributor.
An IOL with a higher refractive index is thinner at the same dioptric power.
Abbe number: measured for optics exposed to air; a higher value means less chromatic aberration.
