Supplementary IOLs

Supplementary IOLs

Improve your vision after cataract surgery

If you’ve already had cataract surgery but still have a problem with your eyes or maybe just need some adjustment to your vision, a supplementary lens could be an option for you. Supplementary lenses are implanted in front of your existing IOL, in a section of the eye just behind the iris called the ciliary sulcus. These special lenses can provide additional clarity or correction of your vision.

Rayner offers three types of supplementary IOLs:

Sulcoflex Aspheric

Enhances the power of your current lens for better overall vision.

Sulcoflex Toric

Fixes astigmatism for sharper and clearer eyesight.

Sulcoflex Trifocal

Lets you see clearly without glasses even if you have already had cataract surgery.

What are the benefits of Sulcoflex Trifocal:

  • Sulcoflex Trifocal is suitable if you have already had cataract surgery and want to get rid of glasses for near and intermediate activities, like reading or using electronic devices.

  • The implantation procedure is fast, safe, and clinically proven, similar to cataract surgery. It can be lens anytime. done on one or both eyes, offering flexibility to remove the lens at any time.


    • What are the disadvantages of the Trifocal:

  • While supplementary lenses are designed to be reversible, additional surgery is required to remove the Sulcoflex Trifocal IOL if needed. This introduces the potential for additional risks and complications.

  • Trifocal IOLs, in general, can sometimes cause visual disturbances such as halos and glare, especially in low-light conditions. This can affect night vision and may take some time for adaptation
