Lens types

Standard lenses are artificial lenses made of flexible material. They are a monofocal lens. Due to the single focal point, patients can opt for sharp near or distance vision. The costs are fully covered by health insurance.

Toric lenses can correct distortions caused by astigmatism. As a rule, they reduce the distortion so that driving without a visual aid becomes possible. Toric lenses are also available multifocal.

Aspherical lenses compensate for a certain aberration and improve contrast vision - especially at twilight. They are often combined with a UV and blue light filter.

Multifocal lenses have multiple focal points. They allow largely sharp vision at different distances.
