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.
