What is Smart Lens PanOptix (American) - Per Eye?
The AcrySof IQ PanOptix by Alcon is the world's most implanted trifocal intraocular lens, trusted by surgeons in over 70 countries. This American-engineered premium IOL delivers clear vision at near (40cm), intermediate (60cm), and far distances using Alcon's proprietary ENLIGHTEN optical technology.

How Does Smart Lens PanOptix (American) - Per Eye Work?
- 1Comprehensive ocular biometry using the latest diagnostic equipment to calculate your ideal PanOptix lens power and optical zone.
- 2Topical anaesthetic drops are applied and a precise 2.2-2.4mm micro-incision is created at the corneal periphery.
- 3Your natural lens is fragmented and removed through ultrasound phacoemulsification, clearing the capsular bag.
- 4The foldable PanOptix trifocal IOL is inserted through the micro-incision, unfolding and centering itself within the capsule.
- 5The second eye is treated 3-7 days later. The self-sealing incision requires no sutures.

PanOptix has the largest global evidence base and is particularly strong at intermediate distances. The choice between premium trifocals depends on your biometry and visual priorities — your surgeon will recommend the optimal lens after examination.
The price of €2,557 is per eye. Both eyes are treated separately, typically 3-7 days apart, with the total investment covering all surgical and follow-up care per eye.
Most patients achieve 20/25 or better at all distances without glasses. Individual results depend on overall eye health, but patient satisfaction rates exceed 95% in published studies.
No. Since the natural lens is completely removed and replaced, cataracts cannot develop. A secondary film (posterior capsule opacification) may occasionally form but is treated in minutes with a painless YAG laser.
