Will Eyhance make me glasses-free?

It may reduce glasses for some intermediate tasks. Many people still need glasses for small print or long reading.

Does Eyhance cause halos?

Halos can happen after any cataract surgery. Eyhance is usually chosen when patients want fewer light-splitting tradeoffs than trifocal lenses.

Can Eyhance correct astigmatism?

There are toric Eyhance models for regular astigmatism. Your surgeon needs cornea measurements to decide.

Who should avoid Eyhance?

People who want strong near vision without glasses may prefer a different lens strategy.

Bottom Line

Eyhance is an enhanced monofocal lens implant used during cataract surgery. It aims for clear distance vision with more intermediate range than a standard monofocal lens.

Eyhance is part of the TECNIS intraocular lens family. The PMA record lists Eyhance models as one-piece lens implants with an optical modification ¹.

A randomized clinical study compared TECNIS Eyhance with a standard monofocal lens and evaluated intermediate vision after cataract surgery ².

Eyhance is still a monofocal-style choice. It is not meant to give the same near range as trifocal lenses.

Who It Helps

Eyhance works best when cataract surgery is already planned and the rest of the eye can support good vision.

You want clear distance vision.
You would like more dashboard or computer range.
You accept reading glasses for small print.
Your cornea measurements are stable.
Your retina and optic nerve are healthy enough.

Clinical studies and reviews compare Eyhance with standard monofocal lenses for intermediate vision ³.

Risks and Tradeoffs

Eyhance shares the usual risks of cataract surgery. It also has lens-choice tradeoffs.

Near vision is limited. Small print often still needs readers.
Astigmatism must be planned. A toric model or other correction may be needed.
Eye disease matters. Macular disease, glaucoma, or cornea disease can limit quality.
Target matters. A small focus miss can change glasses needs.

Reading and Computer Vision

Eyhance is often chosen for more intermediate range than a standard monofocal lens. That can help with screens, dashboards, and some household tasks.

It is not a trifocal lens. Many people still use glasses for long reading, small print, or dim light.

Cost and Insurance

Eyhance billing varies by surgeon, facility, and plan. Some practices treat it like a standard monofocal lens. Others may quote an upgrade fee.

Ask for a written estimate before surgery.
Ask whether toric astigmatism correction costs extra.
Ask whether laser-assisted surgery is bundled or separate.
Confirm what postoperative visits are included.

Common Questions About Eyhance

No. Eyhance is an enhanced monofocal lens. It does not split light like many multifocal or trifocal lenses.

Next Steps

1Ask your surgeon whether your retina, optic nerve, cornea, and tear film are healthy.
2Bring examples of your driving, computer, reading, and hobby needs.
3Ask whether a toric model is needed for astigmatism.
4Compare Eyhance with standard monofocal and trifocal options.
5Get a written estimate for any lens upgrade fee.
