Intraocular lens or IOL is a premium, tiny and artificial lens for the eye. It is used to replace the natural lens of the eye to remove the cataract. Know what are the different types of IOLs used in the Cataract Surgery.
Let’s Choose the Right Intraocular Lens for your Cataract Surgery.pptxGokuldas Hospital
One of the most critical decisions you will make when undergoing cataract surgery is selecting the right intraocular lens (IOL) to replace your natural lens. There are several types of IOLs available that cater to different vision needs. For example, mono-focal IOLs offer excellent distance vision but may require glasses for near vision. Multifocal IOLs, on the other hand, can provide clear vision at varying distances, reducing dependence on glasses. Toric IOLs are designed to correct astigmatism and improve vision clarity.
Cataract is the opacification of the natural lens in the eye that can disturb vision. Modern cataract surgery aims to remove the cataract through small incisions using various techniques like phacoemulsification while implanting an intraocular lens (IOL) to replace the natural lens. IOLs are made of materials like acrylic and silicone and can be monofocal, multifocal, or toric to correct vision and astigmatism with the goal of minimal surgery and fastest recovery of quality vision.

There are several different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) that can be used to replace the natural lens during cataract surgery. The most common type is monofocal IOLs, which only focus at one distance and may require reading glasses. Multifocal IOLs allow vision at multiple distances without glasses by dividing the visual field into sections for different focal lengths. Toric IOLs are designed for patients with astigmatism to reduce blurry vision from an irregularly shaped cornea. The document discusses the benefits and suitability of these different IOL options.
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.

This document discusses various intraocular lens (IOL) options for treating presbyopia during cataract surgery. It describes multifocal IOLs that provide simultaneous focus at multiple distances using diffractive or refractive optics, as well as accommodating IOLs that aim to mimic the eye's natural lens. Popular multifocal IOL models include the ReZoom, AcrySof ReSTOR, and Tecnis, while the Crystalens is an example of an accommodating IOL. The document also addresses factors to consider when selecting an IOL and managing patient expectations.
Dr. Anthony Roberts is an experienced ophthalmologist who specializes in refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery. RLE involves replacing the natural lens in the eye with an artificial intraocular lens, similar to cataract surgery but to correct vision problems rather than treat cataracts. Depending on a patient's needs, RLE uses either a monofocal lens for single-distance vision, a multifocal lens for multiple fixed distances, or an accommodating lens for clear vision at all distances. RLE typically takes 15 minutes per eye to perform.

A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of the eye that can cause blurred or dim vision. It is the leading cause of blindness worldwide and a common cause of vision impairment in the United States. Cataracts develop due to aging, sun exposure, smoking, poor nutrition, eye trauma, certain diseases, and some medications. Diagnosis involves an eye exam using a slit lamp microscope. Treatment is typically cataract surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens. The decision for surgery depends on the degree of vision impairment and its impact on quality of life. Modern cataract surgery is a low risk outpatient procedure with rapid recovery of clear vision.
Technological advancements have made it possible for patients to undergo cataract surgery in a matter of minutes, and experience life-changing improvements in vision within 24 hours.
This document discusses cataracts and presbyopia, as well as treatment options performed by Dr. Helga Fuenfhausen Pizio. A cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens that causes vision problems and is common in older adults. Symptoms include blurry or faded vision. Surgery is the only treatment and involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. For presbyopia, which causes near vision issues, multifocal lenses can provide both near and distance vision after cataract surgery without glasses. Dr. Pizio performs cataract surgery using small incisions and ultrasound and was the first in Nevada to implant a new multifocal lens.
The document summarizes the history and generations of intraocular lenses (IOLs). It discusses the first IOL implanted by Sir Harold Ridley, made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Later generations included foldable materials, multifocal IOLs, and accommodating IOLs. Premium IOLs now offer features like toric designs to correct astigmatism and aspheric optics for better vision quality. While multifocal IOLs provide simultaneous distance and near vision without glasses, they can cause visual side effects like halos and reduced contrast sensitivity. Accommodating IOLs aim to restore a degree of natural accommodation but may not provide fully unaided near vision for small print.

Presbyopia is the loss of accommodation that occurs with aging. It results in a decreased ability to focus on near objects and is caused by lenticular and extralenticular changes within the eye. Symptoms typically begin around age 40 and accommodation is completely lost by ages 50-60, affecting 100% of the population. Treatment options include reading glasses, bifocal and multifocal contact lenses, refractive surgery such as LASIK, and intraocular lens implants. Newer treatments being researched include corneal inlays and injectable accommodating intraocular lenses.

Multifocal Intraocular Lens Implants After Cataract SurgeryDr. Anthony Roberts
Based in Rockville, Maryland, Dr. Anthony Roberts is experienced in LASIK and other ophthalmology procedures that help restore vision. Dr. Anthony Roberts also employs advanced devices and techniques in cataract surgery, including the use of femtosecond lasers and multifocal intraocular lens.
Based in Rockville, Maryland, Dr. Anthony Roberts provides client-centered ophthalmology care for a broad range of eyesight issues such as glaucoma, corneal disease, dry eyes, and diabetic retinopathy. Offering advanced Lasik procedures, Dr. Anthony Roberts provides extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) options to patients with complex vision challenges.
IOLs are typically implanted as part of refractive lens exchange or following cataract extraction, within the surgical treatment of presbyopia. Traditional multifocal IOLs employ diffractive optic lenses and separate light between near, intermediate, and long distances. This means that the user is only able to focus on a single distance at a time, with blur, halo, and glare sometimes occurring due to the multiple focal points.
By contrast, EDOF-IOLs provide a single elongated focal point that seamlessly improves depth of focus and range of vision. This emerging technology is ideal for patients who do not want their functional vision compromised as they shift focus across distances.
Cataract surgery is a common outpatient procedure that involves replacing the cloudy natural lens with an artificial lens through mild sedation and topical anesthetic. There are several lens replacement options, including monofocal lenses which often require glasses after surgery, and premium lenses like toric lenses to reduce astigmatism or multifocal lenses that provide distance, intermediate, and near vision with over 80% of patients needing no glasses or contacts after surgery.
This document discusses various types of eye implants and prosthetics used to treat eye diseases and restore vision. It describes corneal implants like artificial corneas used to replace damaged corneas. It also discusses intraocular lenses implanted after cataract removal, implants for retinal detachment surgery like vitreous implants, and scleral buckling materials. The document then covers surgical adhesives, eye shields, artificial tears, and various types of contact lenses including hard, soft, and gas permeable lenses.
This document discusses different types of intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery. It covers various factors that influence IOL choice such as material, design, and patient needs.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

2. Introduction
With the rapid advancement of technology, the world of vision treatments has
undergone revolutionary changes in recent times. Removal of cataracts may
make the natural lens opaque. For restoration of vision to normalcy, intraocular
lenses are implanted.
The intraocular lens is also popularly referred to as IOLs. Sir Harold Ridley
implanted the first IOL in the year 1949. At that time, the material used in its
construction was acrylic. In 1981 the USA Food and Drug Administration
declared these lenses safe for human eyes.
3. Types of Intraocular Lenses
Before having the surgical procedure, however, you will have to decide on the
type of artificial lens you need.
1. Multifocal Lens
2. Monofocal Lens
3. Toric Lens
4. 1. Monofocal Lens
Among the numerous varieties of IOLs, Monofocal is the basic one. Monofocal
lenses involve correcting one point of focus and aim rectification for one distance
only (far or near) unless the monovision technique is applied.
The monovision technique involves correction for both close as well as distance
vision. This involves the dominant eye, being adjusted for distance viewing.
Correction of the other eye is done for near viewing.
5. 2. Multifocal Lens
A popular choice is a multifocal lens. It gives a chance to the user to view from a
closer range. Also, it provides an opportunity to correct Presbyopia. In most
cases, you will not need to use glasses after cataract surgical procedures.
Multifocal IOLs require an adjustment period because the brain must be trained
to select needed vision information for either near or distant objects.
6. 3. Toric Lens
Another type of premium lens worth mentioning is a Toric IOL. This design is
devised for the correction of astigmatism disorders. Astigmatism is a refractive
disorder that blurs vision due to the irregularly shaped cornea of the eye. If you
have minor astigmatism, a Toric lens will be beneficial.
The main advantage of using Toric Lens is that it reduces the risk of eye surgery
complications such as light sensitivity.
7. Pricing Structure of IOL
When choosing IOLs, the pricing structure is an important consideration. In
general, cataract surgery is covered by insurance. However, not all kinds of IOL
are covered. Only the Monofocal IOL is covered by insurance. Since, Multifocal
and Toric lenses fall under the premium category, most insurance would not
cover these costs and it will be an additional out-of-pocket expense for you.
8. Talk to the Doctor
Seek an initial consultation with the doctors of any reputed laser eye centre in
Delhi. A prudent approach is to conduct comprehensive research on the internet
