Pref ace
T he quest for perfection is a great motivator for advances in life and in sci-
ence. The rapid changes in modern life as well as the continuous extension of
life expectancy raise the need for perfection of vision in all distances. This
need is the reason for searching the ideal solution for multifocality.
At present, multifocal intraocular lenses provide the best available solu-
tion; however the more we implant these lenses, the more we learn about their
advantages and disadvantages.
This book is dedicated to accumulation and refi ning of the current knowl-
edge on this subject, and we hope it will serve as a practical tool for cataract
surgeons.
