Three quick notes:

1. Dr. Justo — the founder and medical director of Arizona Eye Institute & Cosmetic Laser Center in Sun City West — said the lens helps restore a patient’s full range of vision and enables him to customize each patient’s cataract surgery.

2. Ann Schwartz was one of the first patients at Arizona Eye Institute & Cosmetic Laser Center to receive the trifocal implant. She said she was highly satisfied with the results of her cataract surgery.

3. Alcon brought the AcrySof IQ PanOptix Trifocal Lens to market earlier this year.
