When considering vision-correction surgery, most people think LASIK. But according to Ophthalmologist Dr. Rajesh Khanna, sometimes LASIK isn’t the best option. Here’s why multi-focal lenses can often be the better choice:
No. 1: Sometimes multi-focal lenses are the best choice for patients over 60 years.
No. 2: Vision in the very high powers, less than eight or lower or more than five or higher, is often best corrected by multi-focal lenses.
No. 3: Sometimes the cornea is too thin for laser treatment.
No. 4: If a patient is over 50 and wants to avoid ever wearing reading glasses, multi-focal lenses may be the way to go.
No. 5: Multi-focal lenses are better for dry eyes.
No. 6: Patients can rid themselves of cataracts with multi-focal lenses.
No. 7: Multi-focal lenses can help to avoid monovision and increase depth
perception.
Ophthalmologist Dr. Rajesh Khanna has been fellowship trained and has pioneered many techniques in the field of LASIK and refractive surgery. He is a member of the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive surgery.
