Morphology
multifocal + lens + implant
The overall meaning is directly and compositionally derivable from the parts: 'multifocal' (having multiple focal zones) + 'lens' (a device that focuses light) + 'implant' (a device inserted into the body), so a B1 learner who knows these words can infer an implanted lens with multiple focal zones for different distances. This is a technical compound following regular English noun-composition patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent in medical terminology.
Etymology
The noun multifocal lens implant comes from the idea of a single artificial lens put inside the eye that has several focus areas, like many small lenses in one piece. Here multifocal means 'many focus points', lens is the clear piece that helps the eye focus, and implant means it is put into the eye, so it helps a person see both 'near' and 'far' objects.
