Your path to clear vision

How does lens replacement with trifocal lenses work?

We replace the natural lens of your eye with a trifocal lens. This artificial lens enables clear vision at all distances again – near, far and intermediate – without the need for reading or progressive glasses.

Asset
  • Step 1

    Preparation

    A thorough pre-examination determines all relevant measurements for your treatment with trifocal lenses. On the day of the procedure, only minimal preparation is required – ensuring a smooth and stress-free process.

  • Step 2

    Anaesthesia

    Special eye drops gently numb your eyes locally. The treatment is completely painless. You remain awake and relaxed, without placing any strain on your body.

  • Step 3

    Treatment

    The natural lens is gently removed and replaced with the new trifocal lens. The procedure takes only a few minutes per eye and provides permanently clear vision without visual aids.

  • Step 4

    Healing

    Your vision improves significantly within the first 24 hours. In most cases, you can return to your normal daily activities as early as the day after the procedure.

How does the treatment work?

  • Benefits of trifocal lenses

    Trifocal lenses replace the natural lens of the eye. They are not visible in the eye and, after healing, cannot be felt – giving you a completely new sense of freedom and maximum quality of life.

  • For presbyopia

    Trifocal lenses permanently correct presbyopia. This means you will no longer need reading or progressive glasses, even at an advanced age.

  • Clear vision at all distances

    Modern trifocal lenses provide sharp vision at all distances – near, intermediate and far – effectively replacing your progressive glasses.

  • Clear vision for life

    Unlike the natural lens, visual performance with trifocal lenses does not deteriorate over time – for a life without glasses.

  • For strong refractive errors

    Trifocal lenses are also suitable for high hyperopia, severe myopia or a combination of different refractive errors.

My experience was very good. The doctors and staff are very competent and friendly. I had my ICL procedure here yesterday, and today I can already see very well. The first day after the procedure was a bit challenging, as my eyes still had to get used to it.

The doctor as well as the entire team are very friendly and answer questions in a professional and competent way.

About a month ago, I decided to undergo RLA, and I am very satisfied. From the very first examination, I felt that I was advised in a very competent and pleasant manner. The procedure also went exactly as planned, and I felt well taken care of throughout. I am very happy with the result as well. Many thanks to the entire team.

I had my eyes operated on by Dr. Toam Katz and couldn’t be happier with the result. From the very first consultation, he inspired great confidence and explained every detail of the procedure clearly and patiently. The surgery was quick and painless, and the follow-up care was excellent. Today, I enjoy perfect vision thanks to his professionalism and dedication. I can definitely recommend it.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

  • What are trifocal lenses and how do they work?

    Trifocal lenses are highly advanced multifocal lenses that are implanted directly into the eye as intraocular lenses. Unlike conventional lenses, they have three focal points, allowing clear vision at distance, intermediate range and near. By implanting this special artificial lens during a short lens procedure, you can regain full independence from glasses.

    Whether driving, working on a computer, looking at your smartphone or reading – the image is precisely focused on the retina at every distance. The lenses are implanted as part of a safe procedure, after which you can usually see clearly again in almost all areas of everyday life without restrictions.

  • Trifocal lenses or laser eye surgery?

    Whether laser eye surgery or trifocal lenses are more suitable for you depends on individual factors. From around the age of 45, lens replacement is often the better option, as it permanently corrects presbyopia and prevents further progression of the refractive error.

  • From what age are trifocal lenses suitable?

    Trifocal lenses are most commonly used to correct presbyopia, which usually begins around the age of 45. In selected cases, however, the treatment may also be suitable for correcting severe non-age-related refractive errors and is generally possible once you are an adult.

  • How long does an artificial trifocal lens last?

    The implanted trifocal lenses remain in the eye for a lifetime. Because they permanently replace the natural lens, refractive errors are corrected long-term – providing clear vision well into old age.

  • What risks are associated with trifocal lenses?

    Lens replacement is a proven and safe method. If the visual result differs slightly from the desired outcome, it can usually be easily refined with a laser correction. General risks such as infections are extremely rare and can be treated effectively.

  • How much do trifocal lenses cost?

    At EuroEyes, trifocal lenses cost CHF 4,480 per eye. This fixed price includes all pre-examinations, the main examination and follow-up appointments. Payment can be made in full or conveniently in instalments. Costs only arise once you decide to proceed with the treatment.

  • What can I expect after lens replacement?

    Vision usually improves significantly within 24 hours, and you can generally return to your normal daily activities. However, it may take a few weeks until full visual quality stabilises. In the beginning, give your eyes sufficient rest and avoid heavy physical exertion.
