Monofocal Intraocular Lenses

Monofocal intraocular lenses are the standard quality routine in cataract surgery

Standard Monofocal lenses

are used in the majority of cataract procedures. Monofocal intraocular lenses have the advantage of excellent quality distance vision under a variety of lighting conditions. Since these lenses have a fixed focal point which is generally set for distance vision, reading glasses are typically required for good near vision. For patients willing to use reading glasses for near tasks, Dr Khalil recommends Monofocal intraocular lenses as an excellent choice.

Several million such lenses have been used for decades with excellent outcomes and safety record. Recent refinements in the optical quality of these lenses have allowed an even higher quality of vision than previously achievable. Monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) allow patients to see at distance, but not at near.:

Allows for excellent distance vision
Does not correct for near (reading) and may not correct for intermediate (computer) vision
You will most likely need glasses for reading and computer

Monovision

In certain individuals, the brain can tolerate a difference of one-two degrees between both eyes:

Standard lenses are used in both eyes
The non-dominant eye is made to be near-sighted so reading and potentially computer vision (or vice versa) can be accomplished without glasses
One eye is clear for distance and the other eye is blurry for distance
Does not have significant side effects of glare and halo
May require an adjustment period as the brain learns how to use the two eyes with separate functions

Messages from patients of Dr Khalil Eye Clinic

I wish to convey my most sincere gratitude for the opportunity to have you perform my Lasik procedure. I could not have imagined any better care, patience and understanding, pre and post surgery, than that which I received from your team. I am thrilled with my eye sight. My friends here are amazed at my lasik story and I have found that I can see more clearly than they!!!

It is surely an apprehensive feeling when one decides for LASIK. I....after meeting Dr. Ahmed Khalil I knew I was in safe hands. My surgery was performed last week and today I sit infront of my laptop thanking Allah and Dr. Khalil for giving me such clear vision. Anyone out there thinking for LASIK should not think twice for choosing Dr. Ahmed Khalil, ...... You are not only a great doctor but a great human being too

My name is Cedric Mouroux, I am from France... I had a myopia and a very strong astigmatism (-5.75 and -5.25), I can really recommend Dr Khalil, he did an amazing work on my eyes and really changed my life, I wasn’t expecting such great results and my only regret is that I should have done it before! Thank you so much Doctor for what you did to me, and I am so glad I trusted you for this operation.

..Je peux vraiment recommander le Dr Khalil, il a fait une opération sur mes yeux parfaite et a vraiment change ma vie, je ne m’attendais pas a de tels résultats et je regrette juste de ne pas l’avoir fait plus tôt ! Merci beaucoup Docteur pour ce que vous avez fait pour moi et je suis vraiment content de vous avoir fait confiance pour cette opération très importante pour moi.

I want to thank you for being God's hand in giving me back my sight, ... I can’t find words to express my gratitude. The procedure was a piece of cake, it was a painless journey that I feared so much until I was only comforted by your confident and calm voice explaining every step and making it so much easier. The care of Dr Ahmad Khalil about details is exceptional.

For my birthday,August 2010 i wanted perfect vision,little did i know my dream would come true. Laser eye surgery works like a charm! Its the best decision i ever made and the best birthday gift ever! I can see clearly now, it seems like a whole new world. I was scared and wary at first but the minute i met Dr. Khalil, all my fears were gone with the wind.

The procedure took about 15 minutes. There was no pain whatsoever. In fact the process was quite psychedelic and a bit like going into space and back again. For a few hours after the treatment, vision is blurred as the eyes readjust. But the benefits are soon realised with more improvements the following day.

My name is Aseel Rasul, an Iraqi living in Denmark, I can not but give my deep gratitude and appreciation to the angel of mercy, who did my LASIK vision correction operation. I was scared as I had never had any operation before. The calm and clever Dr Ahmad Khalil has made me say good bye to the use of glasses and contact lenses and all their inconveniences.

لمدة 21 عاماً عانيت خلالها من أرتداء النظاره بشكل متواصل لأننى لا أستطيع التركيز من غيرها وأحمد الله كثيراً على أننى أجريت عملية الليزك على يد أحد أكبر أساتذة فى العالم وهو الدكتور / أحمد خليل طبيب العيون القدير فالشكر لله أولاً ثم للدكتور أحمد على عنايته الفائقه بكل مرضاه وشرحه الوافى لكل خطوات العمليه . أستطيع الأن ممارسة حياتى بشكل طبيعى وخصوصاً اللعب مع أطفالى بكل سهوله ويسر دون الخوف عليهم من أصابتهم من نظارتى

I was really impressed with the personal and caring approach, from my initial consultation, through the Lasik surgery, and afterwards during follow-up checks from Dr. Khalil. Based upon my own experience I would definitely recommend Dr. Khalil’s clinic to anyone who is considering LASIK treatment and is concerned about getting a high quality service and personal approach.

It is a marvel that I can open my eyes in the morning and see clearly straight away without looking for my glasses. Diving is easier without a fear of losing my contact lens which has happened to me before. I can take my mask off underwater and open my eyes without any worries. It has definitely changed my life and make everyday living much easier. I have been recommending this operation to my friends.....

To distinguished Genius, Prof Dr Ahmad Khalil: Please accept my sincere thanks for your proper medical care of my condition. I came to you with diabetic eye disease, cataracts, and glaucoma.... because of your distinguished care of my condition, my chronic diseases is controlled, and thanks to your dextrous hands, you performed my cataract operations, and I could resume my favourite hobby of reading, and go back to driving....your total care of my eye conditions
