What is a Smart Lens (Trifocal Lens)?
Commonly known as "Smart Lenses", Trifocal Lenses are high-tech intraocular lenses that permanently correct refractive errors in the eye, allowing patients to see near, intermediate, and far distances without glasses.
It is the most effective solution for presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) and cataracts, especially after age 40. At her clinic in Fethiye, Op. Dr. Gönül Fariz offers patients a lifetime of clear vision using FDA-approved, state-of-the-art trifocal lenses.
Who is Suitable for Smart Lens Surgery?
Not every patient may be suitable for smart lenses. A detailed eye examination is essential. Generally, it is suitable for candidates who:
Are over 40 years old and use glasses for near or distance vision.
Have early-stage or advanced cataracts.
Do not want to wear glasses or contact lenses.
Have corneas unsuitable for laser eye surgery (LASIK).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is smart lens surgery difficult?
No, smart lens surgery is not difficult. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia (eye drops), and the patient is awake but feels no pain. It takes about 10-15 minutes, and the patient can walk home afterwards.
How long do smart lenses last?
Implanted trifocal lenses are for a lifetime. They are fully compatible with eye tissue, do not decay, or degrade. They do not need to be replaced again for the rest of your life.
Will I have problems with night vision?
With older lenses, light scattering (halo/glare) could occur. However, in the new generation trifocal lenses used by Op. Dr. Gönül Fariz, this issue is minimized, and night driving is comfortable.
Can I get smart lenses even if I don't have cataracts?
Yes. With the procedure called Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), this operation can be performed on patients over 40 who do not have cataracts but wear high-prescription glasses. This also eliminates the risk of developing cataracts in the future.
