Odyssey Trifocal Lens
Premium Cataract Surgery
in Saginaw, MI

Q: What makes Odyssey different from other lenses?

Odyssey is a trifocal lens, giving excellent distance, intermediate, and near vision — ideal for patients seeking maximum glasses independence.

Q: Will I still need reading glasses after Odyssey?

Most patients do not need reading glasses for everyday tasks like phones, menus, and computer work.

Q: Are there halos or glare with Odyssey?

Mild halos can occur early on but usually become less noticeable as your brain adapts.

Q: Who is NOT a good candidate for Odyssey?

Patients with macular degeneration, significant dry eye, corneal disease, or irregular astigmatism may be better suited for another lens option.

Q: Does Odyssey work for night driving?

Yes — many patients drive comfortably at night. Some may notice mild halos early in recovery.

Q: How soon will my vision improve?

Most patients notice clearer vision within 24–48 hours, with continued improvement as the eye heals.

Q: Can Odyssey be used in one eye only?

It can be used in one eye, but best results are achieved when both eyes are implanted for full-range vision.
