A member asked:
Can i be implanted with a multifocal lens in one eye only?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes you can, but it's better to have both eyes implanted with multifocal implants so you can get the full benefit of the "reading" aspect of the implants. When you have both eyes implanted with the multifocal implants you will have the "depth" perception benefit from the binocular vision.
