The AMO array foldable silicone multifocal intraocular lens

Multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) technology offers patients substantial benefits. The elimination of a presbyopic condition and restoration of normal vision by simulating accommodation greatly enhances the quality of life for most patients. The only multifocal IOL available for general use in the United States is the AMO Array (Allergan Surgical Products, Irvine, CA). The advantages of astigmatically neutral clear corneal cataract surgery have allowed for increased utilization of multifocal technology in both cataract and clear lens replacement surgery. Careful attention to patient selection, preoperative biometry, and lens power calculations, in addition to meticulous surgical technique, will allow surgeons to offer multifocal technology to their patients with great success.
