Laser diopter removal is a quick, painless and effective operation that achieves excellent vision without wearing glasses and contact lenses. But by laser removal of the dioptre, it is not possible to remove the so-called “elderly” dioptre for close work, which occurs most often after the age of 40. Therefore, the question arises, is it possible for people over 40 to regain good vision, closest to what they had in their youth, without wearing glasses?
Multifocal lenses for life without glasses
The Synergy® multifocal lens provides a continuous range of vision. The observed object remains in focus at all distances from the eye, even in low light conditions (at night). This lens has improved performance compared to multifocal intraocular lenses of earlier generations.
Who are Synergy® multifocal lenses recommended for?
Multifocal lenses are recommended for people who are presbyopic (older than 40-45 years old), wear two pairs of glasses (for near and for distance) and want to reduce or eliminate the need to wear glasses.
The operation can also be performed on people who have cataracts, since by installing multifocal lenses it is possible to remove both cataracts and diopters in one act.
Benefits of Synergy® Multifocal Lenses*
Continuously good vision at all distances
Previous multifocal (trifocal) intraocular lenses allowed clear vision at near, far and middle distance, but with possibly less visual disturbances between those focal points. For example the recommended reading distance is 30-35cm (focus point for near) and if the text moves closer or further away beyond that point of clear vision, the image may become blurry.
With multifocal intraocular lenses of echelette design, such as the Synergy® lens, thanks to the extended focus, patients receive stable, high-quality vision regardless of the distance from which an object is viewed.
Clear vision in all lighting conditions
In a small percentage of cases, after fitting trifocal intraocular lenses, patients may experience less variation in visual acuity in low light conditions.
With the latest Synergy® multifocal lenses, there is no difference in the quality of day and night vision. The patient can see well even in low-light conditions, without losing contrast sensitivity (the ability of our eye to distinguish between lighter and darker shades).
Less light scattering in night conditions
In the first few months after trifocal intraocular lens surgery, patients experience a halo effect when driving at night and light scattering around sources such as headlights, street lights, etc.
With the latest model of multifocal intraocular lenses, this discomfort is reduced. Most patients do not notice light scattering around its source.
Quick adaptation to lenses
With earlier generations of multifocal lenses, it took time for patients to get used to focusing at certain distances. With the latest Synergy® lenses, the adaptation time is significantly shorter. Patients get used to the new lenses in their eyes in just a few days. Clear vision is achieved already a few days after the operation.
Who fits Synergy® multifocal lenses?
Implantation of premium intraocular lenses represents an elegant, sophisticated procedure that achieves the maximum in modern ophthalmology. This type of surgery can only be performed by experienced surgeons.
Dr. Branka Ivošević is a domestic surgeon with the largest number of multifocal lenses installed in Serbia. At the invitation of the lens manufacturer, in 2021 he becomes one of the few surgeons in Serbia who installs Synergy® multifocal lenses.

” How do we feel? Unburdened, free, satisfied. The operation has definitely changed our lives for the better, the quality of that “visual life” has improved, if I may say so.” – this is how Veselin Milunović (50) from Sremska Kamenica begins his story, who, together with his parents Anđelija (71) and Miloj (76), underwent an operation with the installation of trifocal intraocular lenses in the Center for Laser Eye Surgery “Perfect Vision” on the same day.
They came to “Perfect Vision” based on the recommendation of Veselin’s friend, and did not even consider the offers of other clinics. They made the first contact with the clinic 3 years ago, but they waited to collect enough money because they wanted to do the operation together. They thoroughly researched, watched videos and guest appearances by Dr. Branka Ivošević, which helped them solidify their decision to have the surgery in Subotica.
“I read comments on your website where one patient thanks another for the recommendation because it changed his life, so now I would also like to thank my friend Dragan, because this is definitely the best solution. I had as many as three diopters for reading, for work and for driving, and wearing three glasses was an impossible mission. Not to forget to mention that I often lost glasses, changed diopters, which was all a significant financial expense. ” – he points out. Veselin.
His parents, in addition to near and far dioptres, also had cataracts, which were permanently resolved with this operation. Now they can once again perform daily activities, which for many years were difficult and impossible for them.
“What can I tell you, now I easily thread the needle, I can read even the smallest letters… I feel reborn, as if my whole body is easier. Before, I staggered a bit while walking, I was insecure, especially when going up the stairs, but now it’s a treat! My husband said that after 20 years he can read newspapers again without glasses, because he can see even the smallest letters.” – Angelija, Veselin’s mother, told us.
They point out that the operation with the installation of trifocal lenses went easily, the first eye was completely painless, they almost didn’t even have the impression that they were having surgery. During the operation of the second eye, they felt an unpleasant stinging at certain moments, but it was far from painful and unbearable.
When asked how they now look at their decision to undergo surgery, Veselin points out that surgery with the installation of trifocal intraocular lenses is definitely one of the better investments in life.
“One would think that the operation is expensive, but considering how much money we have spent so far on glasses and examinations, we are already in the black and this is for life. It’s really a big relief!”
All three have nothing but praise for the staff.
“I have never seen such a young, well-coordinated team of experts who are very kind, helpful and communicative. I would especially like to praise Dr. Branka , who does her job perfectly, carefully and with dedication.” – points out Mr. Miloje.
“On a scale of 1 to 100, the doctor deserves a 100!” continues Veselin and continues , “She is wonderful as a person and as an expert, she is fully dedicated to her work, she sets herself up as a friend to the patient, she is always at your service. Until now, I have only thought of Djokovic as having such greatness without being the least bit overbearing, and now I think the same about Dr. Ivošević. Yes, she is Djokovic in her work!” – Veselin ends with a smile.
Slaviša Spasojević (age 62) from Bijeljina came to our institution on the recommendation of a friend who underwent surgery.
Since he was not a suitable candidate for laser dioptre removal due to the initial clouding of the lens, he was advised surgery with the implantation of intraocular lenses.
Slaviša wanted to solve the cataract problem with one operation, but also to permanently get rid of dioptres and the need to wear glasses for near and far vision.
It is equipped with the latest trifocal intraocular lenses , which, unlike standard multifocal lenses with two focuses for near and far, have a third focus and provide good intermediate vision, i.e. medium distance vision.
The operations on both eyes were performed one week apart. Already at the check-up the day after the first eye surgery, Slavisa was positively surprised by the results achieved.
In the following, we present his experience at the first check-up after the operation of the other eye.
As before, trying to justify your trust and keep pace with the world, the Perfect Vision ophthalmology center is the second clinic in Serbia that has successfully installed the PanOptix multifocal intraocular lens.
The main feature of this lens is that it is quadrifocal but functions like a trifocal and gives patients near vision (40cm), greatly improved vision at central distances (60cm) and quality distance vision.
From now on, unlike the installation of multifocal lenses that allow the patient to see well at near and far, we are able to provide patients with clear vision at 40cm, 60cm and 80cm , which are the distances we most often use in everyday life (reading, using the phone, applying make-up, etc.).
It is important to emphasize that the distribution of light is always identical, regardless of lighting conditions and pupil width, as well as that the quality of vision is better compared to previous generations of multifocal intraocular lenses.
PanOptix belong to the group of premium lenses fitted by our clinic.
To open a new chapter in the field of cataract surgery at our clinic, we have prepared promotional prices for the installation of these lenses.
