AN EXTENDED RANGE RATHER THAN SEPARATE FOCI
EDOF IOLs for distance-to-intermediate vision
Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses aim to elongate the focal range, commonly supporting distance and intermediate tasks. Fine near reading may still need spectacles.
1. What guides EDOF selection
Importance of screens, dashboard and arm’s-length tasks
Corneal, macular and optic-nerve health
Astigmatism and willingness to use near glasses
2. Planning the extended range
Set the visual priority
The surgeon confirms whether distance-to-intermediate function matches the patient’s real daily needs.
Check optical quality
Surface disease, corneal irregularity and retinal findings are assessed before selecting an EDOF design.
Coordinate both eyes
Targets may be planned to broaden binocular range while protecting distance quality.
3. EDOF compared with trifocal
Continuous-range intent
EDOF aims for an elongated focus rather than three distinct focal points.
Near compromise
Very close or fine print work is more likely to need spectacles.
Visual phenomena remain possible
Halos, glare or contrast changes vary by design and patient.
4. Limitations
- Reading-glasses independence is not assured
- Residual astigmatism can reduce the useful range
- The term EDOF covers different optical designs with different behaviours

Every eye is different. The right procedure is the one that fits your cornea, your lens, your retina and the way you use your vision every day — not the one that is most advertised. Technology supports the decision; it never replaces the clinical evaluation.
