During cataract surgery, the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens, or an IOL. These cataract lenses are designed to restore and correct vision for those suffering from cataracts. There are many different types of cataract lenses available, and each type of lens provides specific benefits. WHICH OF THEM IS GOOD FOR YOU?

3. TYPES OF CATARACT LENSES

5. MONOFOCAL IOLS
The most common types of cataract lenses are
monofocal IOLs.
Monofocal lenses only have one focusing distance.
• Distance
• Intermediate
• Near— Depending on your preferences.
Most cataract patients choose monofocal IOLs that
allow them to focus on things at a distance and use
reading glasses when needed.

7. MULTIFOCAL IOL
For those who want to achieve optimum vision at
all distances, multifocal IOLs are the cataract
lenses for you.
Unlike monofocal IOLs, multifocal lenses allow
you to
see well at more than one distance.
Multifocal lenses are usually only used if they can
be implanted into both eyes, and will work best
for patients who don’t have any eye diseases.

9. ACCOMMODATING IOLS
This type of lens works with the implant inside the eye as it moves to help you focus
at various distances.
Overall, accommodating IOLs are known to provide enhanced distance vision for
many cataract patients.
However, compared to the other options, it’s not ideal for near vision.

11. TORIC IOLS
Toric IOLs are designed for those with
cataracts who want to reduce
astigmatism.
Toric IOLs are usually recommended for
those with corneal astigmatism, or
blurry vision caused by an irregularly
shaped cornea.
These cataract lenses are available in
several powers, and can help correct a
range of diopters of astigmatism.
