EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus)

In the dynamic field of ophthalmology, innovation is key to improving patient outcomes and enhancing quality of life. One such advancement is the EDOF IOL Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens which has revolutionised how we approach presbyopia correction, especially after cataract surgery.

At Devine Meditech, we remain committed to supporting ophthalmic professionals by offering cutting-edge solutions that align with modern surgical needs. In this blog, we explore what EDOF IOLs are, how they compare to traditional lenses, and who can benefit the most from them.

What is an EDOF IOL?

EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) IOLs are a type of intraocular lens designed to provide a continuous range of vision primarily distance and intermediate, with some support for near vision. Unlike multifocal IOLs, which split light into multiple focal points, EDOF lenses stretch and shift the focal point, reducing visual disturbances like halos and glare.

These lenses are ideal for people who want clear vision at multiple distances without the frequent need for glasses, especially for activities like driving, using a computer, or reading menus.

Who is the Ideal Candidate for EDOF IOLs?

Not all patients are suited for EDOF IOLs. The ideal candidates are:
• Patients who prioritize distance and intermediate vision
• Individuals with active lifestyles or who spend long hours on screens
• Those who prefer minimal night vision disturbances
• People willing to wear reading glasses occasionally for fine print
• Patients without significant astigmatism or macular issues
Our team at Devine Meditech works closely with ophthalmologists to determine the best IOL choice based on patient needs and eye health profiles.

How Do EDOF IOLs Minimize Halos and Glare?

One of the most significant advantages of EDOF lenses is the reduced visual side effects. Traditional multifocal lenses often cause rings, halos, or glare, especially during nighttime driving. EDOF IOLs use non-diffractive technology or smooth optical transitions that allow a seamless shift in focal points. This innovation maintains contrast sensitivity and provides more natural vision, especially in dim lighting. It’s a game-changer for patients sensitive to light disturbances.

The Future of Presbyopia Correction: Where is EDOF Headed?

As technology evolves, EDOF IOLs are becoming more precise, customizable, and accessible. New-generation lenses now combine toric correction for astigmatism, aspheric designs for better image quality, and advanced materials that ensure biocompatibility and long-term safety. At Devine Meditech, we’re proud to support ophthalmic professionals with access to the latest in intraocular lens technology. Whether it’s phacoemulsification, toric correction, or EDOF implantation we aim to empower surgeons with products that support excellent post-op outcomes.
