How the PanOptix® Pro Trifocal Lens Works
The PanOptix® Pro IOL is a trifocal intraocular lens used during cataract surgery. Instead of focusing light at only one distance, the lens is designed to distribute light across near, intermediate, and distance focal points.
This can help patients perform everyday activities such as reading, using a computer, viewing a phone, and driving with less need for corrective eyewear. The PanOptix Pro design is also built to improve how light is captured and directed through the lens, supporting brighter, sharper visual quality for carefully selected patients.
Not every patient is a candidate for a multifocal IOL. Your eye health, corneal surface, cataract severity, astigmatism, pupil size, lifestyle, and night-vision needs must be reviewed before choosing the best premium cataract lens. At Mosaddegh Eye Institute, lens recommendations are based on detailed measurements and a conversation about how you use your vision every day.
Frequently Asked Questions About PanOptix Pro in San Francisco
The PanOptix Pro IOL is a premium trifocal intraocular lens used during cataract surgery. It is designed to support vision at near, intermediate, and distance ranges, which may reduce dependence on glasses for many daily activities.
A standard monofocal cataract lens usually focuses at one distance, most commonly distance vision. The PanOptix Pro cataract lens is designed to provide a broader range of vision across near, intermediate, and far distances. Because it is a premium cataract lens, it is typically an out-of-pocket upgrade.
Good candidates may include cataract patients who want greater freedom from glasses and have healthy eyes overall. A detailed evaluation at Mosaddegh Eye Institute is needed to review your cataract, corneal health, dry eye status, astigmatism, and lifestyle before recommending PanOptix Pro in San Francisco.
Some patients with astigmatism may be candidates for a toric version of the PanOptix lens. Your surgeon will review your measurements and determine whether a PanOptix Toric IOL, another toric lens, or a different cataract lens option is better for your eyes.
Medicare and most insurance plans typically cover cataract surgery with a standard monofocal lens when medically necessary. The PanOptix Pro IOL is considered a premium IOL, so the added lens technology is usually an out-of-pocket upgrade. Our team can explain the expected coverage and upgrade costs during your cataract consultation.
