ZEISS AT LARA is a diffractive, extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens that replaces your eye’s natural lens during cataract or lens replacement surgery. Unlike a monofocal lens that focuses light at a single point, the AT LARA design gently stretches the focal range, giving you continuous vision from far to near-intermediate distances. It is engineered to deliver sharp distance and mid-range vision with comfortable, functional near performance for daily tasks like reading a phone or viewing a dashboard. ZEISS also integrates chromatic aberration control into the lens material, reducing color distortion and improving contrast and image quality. This technology is established internationally and U.S. patients can expect similar advancements once regulatory approval is complete.
If you want to reduce dependence on glasses and enjoy a smooth range of vision for driving, reading, and mid-range activities, ZEISS AT LARA may be a great future option. This lens provides strong distance and mid-range vision with functional near performance, offering a balanced experience once it becomes available in the U.S. Mild halos may occur initially, as with most advanced lenses, but patients typically adapt over time.
Yes. It can also be used for lens replacement in people who want to correct their vision before cataracts develop.

ZEISS AT LARA provides smoother vision with fewer halos and better contrast, while trifocal lenses may deliver slightly stronger near focus.
