> **Summary:** A foldable trifocal toric intraocular lens, placed during cataract surgery, corrects cataract, astigmatism and presbyopia in a single operation. It gives clear vision at near, intermediate and far distances and reduces the need for glasses; Kudret Eye İstanbul uses the Alcon Clareon PanOptix IOL.

## What the Design Means
- **Foldable:** the lens folds to pass through a tiny incision without stitches, meaning less risk and much faster recovery.
- **Trifocal:** focuses light at three distances: far (traffic signs, horizon), intermediate (computer screen, dashboard, kitchen counter) and near (phone, book).
- **Toric:** corrects astigmatism, where the cornea is shaped more like a rugby ball than a football, tailored to the individual eye.

## Alcon Clareon PanOptix IOL
- **Clareon material:** highly resistant to glistening (tiny vesicles that can form over time and blur vision), designed to keep its clarity over the long term.
- **PanOptix technology:** performs particularly well at intermediate, arm's-length distance; smooth transitions between distances and clearer vision in dim light.
- One of the most widely used trifocal lenses worldwide; most patients say they no longer need glasses for everyday tasks.

The package includes a doctor examination, all eye tests and pay on-site (no down payment before arriving at the clinic, no hidden costs).
