What Are PanOptix® Trifocal IOLs? A Beginner’s Guide
- Posted on: May 15 2025
Are you planning cataract surgery and wondering which intraocular lens (IOL) will give you the best results? While every patient’s needs are unique, one of the most common requests we hear from patients at Galiani Ophthalmology Associates is, “Can I go glasses-free after surgery?”
With PanOptix® Trifocal IOLs, the answer is often “yes!” With decades of experience and a patient-centered approach, board-certified ophthalmologist and practice owner Dr. David Galiani, a board-certified ophthalmologist, offers PanOptix Trifocal IOLs as a premium option for patients looking to achieve visual freedom after cataract surgery. Here’s what you should know about these groundbreaking IOLs.
How PanOptix Trifocal IOLs Work
PanOptix is the first and only FDA-approved trifocal lens in the United States. Unlike standard monofocal lenses that focus at only one distance, PanOptix lenses draw the maximum amount of light to the retina and divide it among near, intermediate, and distance focal points. It’s sometimes called a trifocal lens because it gives you quality vision at all three distances within one lens. ENLIGHTEN Optical Technology also optimizes light utilization, improves image quality, and delivers clear, crisp vision.
Benefits of Choosing PanOptix
PanOptix IOLs offer real lifestyle advantages, especially for active people and those who want visual freedom after surgery. Some key benefits include:
- Clear vision at all distances: PanOptix patients enjoy a good close-up, intermediate, and distance vision. This provides a natural range of sight that helps you stay independent and confident in your daily life.
- Go glasses-free (or nearly): Most patients who choose PanOptix for their cataract surgery experience remarkable visual freedom. In studies, almost 97% of patients experienced freedom from glasses, with all reporting very high satisfaction rates. Some patients may need readers for intense visual tasks like reading very small print.
- Sharp contrast sensitivity: PanOptix helps patients see well in all lighting environments, from bright to dim to fluctuating lighting.
