What is IOL?
An artificial lens to replace
crystalline lens of eye to
correct optical power of eyes
when crystalline lens of eye is
clouded by cataract or for
refractive surgery
Parts of an IOL
OPTIC
Part of lens that focuses
light on retina.
HEPTIC
Small filaments
connected to the optic
that hold the lens in
place in the eye

Hydrophilic
Hydrophobic
✓ Silicone
PMMA
• Rigid material
• Hydrophobic (water content <1%)
• RI 1.49,
• Thin lens Single piece
• Rigid , inert and non autoclavable
• Chemically stable compound
• Excellent optical properties
• Low cost
• Disadv: Rigid and requires larger incision
Silicon
• Flexible, Polymers of silicon and oxygen ( Siloxane )
• 1st material used for foldable IOL ( by J Zhou in 1980)
• Hydrophobic
• Low RI: 1.41-1.46 (Thick optic lens, large incision)
• Current models-three piece with PMMA, PVDF, Polyamide haptics
• Advantages: Less chance of PCO
• Good resistance for Nd:YAG
Disadvantage: More chance of dislocation bcz of poor adhesiveness
• Premature and abrupt opening ( injury to surrounding structure)
• Anterior capsule rim opacify quickly
• Glistening (Penetration by aqueous humor in lens material cause
small vacuoles within the lens optic.)
• Not preferred in silicon filled eye/high myopic eye(silicone
droplets),
• Favours bacterial adherence-post op infection
Hydrophobic Foldable Acrylic
• Copolymers of acrylate and methacrylate Derived from
rigid PMMA
• Available in 3-piece or 1-piece iol
• RI 1.44-1.55
• Easy handling, Prone for mechanical damage
• Transparent or yellow
• Advantages Foldable, durable , Low PCO rates, Little
damage with Nd:YAG, Little tendency to attract silicone
oil droplets
• Disadv: Scratches with instrument
• Low tendency to self centering
• Photopsia , Glistening
Hydrophilic acrylic
• Mixture of hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) and hydrophilic
acrylic monomer
• Water content 18-26%
• Highly foldable (Ideal lens for MICS )
• RI-1.43
• Yellow tinted
Advantages
• Easy to handle,
• Less chance of damage
• Resistance for Nd-YAGlaser shots
• Low photopsia ,Lesser capsular bag contraction
• Higher uveal biocompatibility
Disadvantage
• Higher PCO rates ( Calcium deposits leading to optic
opacification)
Hydrogel
• Poly HEMA containing IOLs are also called
hydrogels.
• Swell in water ( Water content 38% ), and
form soft , swollen , rubbery mass
• Because of the high water content, they have
a low refractive index ( 1.43 to 1.48 ).
• These lenses are highly foldable and can be
injected through incisions approximately 1.8
mm or smaller, allowing for microincision
cataract surgery (MICS)
Collamer
• Patented copolymer of hydrophilic
acrylic and porcine collagen .
• Hydroxyethyl methacrylate
copolymer with a UV absorbing
chromophore.
• Hydrophilic
• In theory, the porcine collagen
improves the biocompatibility of
the lens when implanted in
human eyes.
• Mainly used for Posterior
Chamber Phakic Intraocular lenses
[ implantable collamer lens (ICL)]
INTRAOCULAR LENS DESIGN
➢ Single piece / 3-piece
➢ Plate haptic / open loop haptics
➢ Angulated / planar haptics
➢ Edge design
➢ Optic design
In general, the advantages of single-piece IOLs come from its less
rigid haptics. The softer, longer haptics unfold in a more evenly
distributed manner, causing relatively less trauma to the capsule
and more uniform contact holding it in place, and reducing
wrinkling.
Three-piece IOLS are more versatile and can be placed in the
capsule or in the ciliary sulcus in the event that the posterior
capsule ruptures. Single-piece IOLs should never be placed in the
ciliary sulcus { UGH (uveitis, glaucoma, hyphema) syndrome, to
shifting of the lens over time}
Single-Piece vs Three-Piece IOLs
Haptic angulation relative to the plane of optic
▪ For PCIOL
Anterior angulation to keep the optic part away from the pupil
angulated haptics allow for adequate
pupillary clearance and adhesion to the posterior capsule
▪ For ACIOL
Posteriorly angulated lens to vault the IOL away from the pupil
Aspheric design of IOLs
Spherical aberration is a
phenomenon in which the
outer parts of a lens do not
bring light rays into the same
focus as the central part. Rays
passing through the lens close
to its centre are focused
farther away than rays passing
through a circular zone near
its rim.
Aspheric design of IOLs
Optics of aberration in human eye
Cornea-positive spherical aberration
Lens-negative spherical aberration
Aging-increases positive aberration
Premium IOL
•Multifocal
•Accommadative
•Toric monofocal IOL
•Toric multifocal IOL
•Monovision
• IOLS which can separate incoming light into two or more foci, thus
resulting in multiple coexisting retinal images.
• At any given point, only one of the images (distance, intermediate
or near) is the sharpest, and hence selected by the brain for
visualisation. This concept is known as simultaneous vision.
• The visual system in any mammal is not known to be multifocal,
hence the implantation of these IOLS initiate a process of
neuroadaptation in the recipient's brain, and its best effect is seen
only after some days to weeks.
• The splitting of light to form multiple images leads to loss of
contrast for each image.
• However, despite these limitations, MFIOLS continue to be one of
the best technologies to provide spectacle independence for all
distances after cataract surgery.
MULTIFOCAL IOL
MULTIFOCAL IOL
• Concept by Hoffer
• Implanted by Pearce in 1986
• IOL with 2 or more focal points
MFIOL can be classified in two ways:
II. Based on optical design and Mechanism of action
1. Refractive
2. Diffractive
3. Apodized Diffractive
I. Based on focality
1. Bifocal creating a focus for distance as well as near vision.
2. Trifocal IOLs have an additional focus for intermediate vision.
3. Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLS produces an elongated focus of
vision, which provides distance as well as an intermediate vision over a
range.
Diffraction is the bending of light around an
obstacle or through a opening. Refraction is the
bending of light as it moves from one medium to
another.
Refraction and Diffraction
Refractive MIOL
• Anterior surface have ring or sector shaped optical zones
with different dioptric power
• Which are based on geometric light rays refraction
principles
• These zones provide various focal points
• Helps in distance , intermediate and near vision
• Dependent on the size of pupil to utilize the required zone
of lens.
• Limitation : High dysphotopsicsymptoms, high intolerance
to pupil decentration and significant loss of contrast
sensitivity
Diffractive MIOL
• Principle : utilizes diffraction in
conjuction with refraction to create
a new foci
• Refraction by anterior surface and
diffraction by the posterior surface
with multiple grooves / microscopic
steps
• Light divided into two foci 41%
each for near and distance and 18%
lost to HOA
• Less pupil dependent and more
tolerance to decentration.
• Gradual reduction in
diffractive step
heights from the
centre to the
periphery
• Making the lens
distance dominating
when the pupil size is
large
• the dysphotopsic
symptoms less
• Diffractive MFIOLS are
less pupil dependent,
and show more
tolerance to pupil
decentration
Apodisation

Refractive vs Diffractive
Disadvantages
• Loss of contrast sensitivity
• Glare and haloes-scattering of light at
the dividing line of the different zones-
improves with bilateral implantation bcz
of summation effect
• Less satisfactory visualisation of the
fundus -difficult in vitreoretinal
procedure
• Requires visuocortical neuro adaptation
Toric IOLs refer to astigmatism correcting
intraocular lenses used at the time of
cataract surgery to decrease post-operative
astigmatism.
Toric IOLs
• 1st Toric IOL was introduced by Shimizu
• And it was non foldable 3-piece
• Patient selection, IOL calculation, postop
lens stability are the key features for
success
Advantages of Toric IOL
• Better results than monofocal iol and limbal
relaxing incision
• Average postoperative toric iol rotation <5‘
• Quality of visionn can be improved with bilateral
toric IOL implantation
• Multifocal Toric IOL can improve distance,
intermediate and near Vision (challenge is
preoperative assessments which is very crucial)
• Postoperative residual astigmatism <1D in 89% and
88% multifocal toric and toric IOL respectively
Disadvantage of Toric IOL
• Improper alignment or rotation of the IOL after
surgery may result in more residual astigmatism
than predicted.-
• Generally for every 1' of IOL rotation - 3.3% of
cylindrical power lost
• A complete loss of cylindrical power occurs can
occur with a rotation of >30
• Astigmatism more than 4D at corneal plane still
remains dificult to correct with toric iol.
• Irregular astigmatism can not be corrected
ACCOMMODATION
• It is a dioptric change in the power of the
eye
• Ciliary muscle contraction causes a
release in zonular tension at the equator,
which permits the capsule to mould the
young lens into an accommodated form to
focus the near
• Presbyopia, age related loss of
accommodation -gradual age related
stiffening of the lens
Accommodative IOLs
• Restoring the true, dynamic and
continuous range of focusing ability
of the eye
• Monovision , bifocal, multifocal
modalities does not restore active
change in power of the eye that
occurs during accommodation
• Accomodative IOLS restore true
accommodation to the presbyopic
eye and provide a range of clear
vision.
Accommodative IOLs
Restoration of Accommodation
• In Pseudophakic eyes engine that drives
accommodation ( ciliary muscles)
continues to remain functional so it can
be used to restore accomodation
Accommodative IOLs
• Single optic IOLS -designed to undergo
forward movement of the optic
• Dual optic IOLS -increased separation of
the two optics
Single optic IOLS
• Implanted in the capsular bag with posteriorly
vaulted optic
• Has hinged plate haptics
• Need for the post op cycloplegia and cause the
anterior and posterior capsular surface to
fibrose around the haptics and seal the optic
within the bag
• MOA- accommodative effort causes a bulking
up of the ciliary muscle within the vitreous
cavity, which increase the vitreous pressure
against the optic, causing temporary forward
movement of the optic
Eg.Crystalens AT
1mm shift of a 1mm thick optic could result in 0.8D in long
eyes 1.3D in average eye1.85 D in short eyes
Open chamber iols that they fill the capsular bag but
retain a fluid space btw the two optics
• High +ve bi-convex anterior optic (approx. 32D)
and a weaker -ve meniscus concave optic
posterior(approx. -12D) joined by 'spring haptics‘
• Retain the natural dimensions of the capsular
bag in axial thickness and equatorial diameter
• 1mm separation produce 2.0 to 2.5D of
accommodation
• Eg. Sychrony dual optic Accommodative iol
(visiogen) and The AkkoLens Lumina
Dual Optic IOLS
• At ciliary body rest, the zonules are put on stretch,producing
axial shortening of the capsular bag , thus pulling the optics
together and loading the haptic springs.
• With accommodative effort, zonular tension is released,
compressive capsular tension on the optics and spring haptics is
released and thus the anterior optic moves forward
• Based on principle of the Alvarez
lens-Two sinusoidal optical
surfaces slide across one another
along the horizontal axis
• Fitted spring like haptics fused at
the rim movement perpendicular
to the optical axis
• 2D to 5D of near add power
• Implanted in sulcus
The AkkoLens Lumina
Curvature change IOLs
4 different designs are under development
1)PowerVision FluidVision IOL (Belmont, CA)
2)Medennium Smart Lens (Irvine, CA)
3)NuLens Accommodative IOL
4)Polymer refilling technique
• The annular peripheral haptics -
Fluid reservoir
• The fluid moves back and forth
through this pliable
system(Microfluidic Technology)
• As the ciliary body and zonular
apparatus contract and expand,
that fluid in the peripheral annular
haptic is forced through a channel
into the centre of the lens, causing
it to increase its anterior posterior
curvature
• Average accommodation+5D
Fluid Vision (Power Vision )
• Manufactured from a proprietary material thermodynamic
hydrophobic acrylic
• 2.0 mm rod and injected through a normally sized capsulorhexis
• unique thermodynamic properties that changes shape from a
solid rod at room temperature to a gellike lens-shaped polymer
at body temperature.
Medellium Smart Lens (Irvine, CA)
NuLens
• Sulcus fixated lens
• Composed of silicone gel between 2 rigid plates with an
opening on the front plate
• it works opposite to the normal accommodative
mechanism
• Focus for near is achieved when the ciliary muscle is
relaxed and focus for distance when the ciliary muscle is
contracted, zonular tension would hold the capsular
diaphragm in a relatively taught state
• With increased vitreous
pressure, the plate
compress, the polymer
bulges the anterior plate
aperture, resulting in
increased curvature and
increased power
• Accommodation +3 to +5D
Polymer refilling
• Silicone balloon is placed in capsular bag than liquid
silicone polymer is injected into the balloon.
• By this recreating an optically clear and soft ,
accommodating lens
Disadvantages Accommodative IOLs
• Smaller optic-more aberrations
• Failure of accommodation due to-Fibrosis-
capsular opacification (anterior/posterior)
• The separation of dual optic and curvature change
determines the post op refraction
• Overfilling and underfilling in polymer refilling
• YAG capsulotomy is contraindicated in IOLs
• More ACO and PCO
• Cost
Newer IOLs- Rollable IOL

  • 19.
    In general, theadvantages of single-piece IOLs come from its less rigid haptics. The softer, longer haptics unfold in a more evenly distributed manner, causing relatively less trauma to the capsule and more uniform contact holding it in place, and reducing wrinkling. Three-piece IOLS are more versatile and can be placed in the capsule or in the ciliary sulcus in the event that the posterior capsule ruptures. Single-piece IOLs should never be placed in the ciliary sulcus { UGH (uveitis, glaucoma, hyphema) syndrome, to shifting of the lens over time} Single-Piece vs Three-Piece IOLs

    • IOLS whichcan separate incoming light into two or more foci, thus resulting in multiple coexisting retinal images. • At any given point, only one of the images (distance, intermediate or near) is the sharpest, and hence selected by the brain for visualisation. This concept is known as simultaneous vision. • The visual system in any mammal is not known to be multifocal, hence the implantation of these IOLS initiate a process of neuroadaptation in the recipient's brain, and its best effect is seen only after some days to weeks. • The splitting of light to form multiple images leads to loss of contrast for each image. • However, despite these limitations, MFIOLS continue to be one of the best technologies to provide spectacle independence for all distances after cataract surgery. MULTIFOCAL IOL
  • 29.
    MULTIFOCAL IOL • Conceptby Hoffer • Implanted by Pearce in 1986 • IOL with 2 or more focal points MFIOL can be classified in two ways: II. Based on optical design and Mechanism of action 1. Refractive 2. Diffractive 3. Apodized Diffractive I. Based on focality 1. Bifocal creating a focus for distance as well as near vision. 2. Trifocal IOLs have an additional focus for intermediate vision. 3. Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLS produces an elongated focus of vision, which provides distance as well as an intermediate vision over a range.

    Diffraction is thebending of light around an obstacle or through a opening. Refraction is the bending of light as it moves from one medium to another. Refraction and Diffraction
  • 31.
    Refractive MIOL • Anteriorsurface have ring or sector shaped optical zones with different dioptric power • Which are based on geometric light rays refraction principles • These zones provide various focal points • Helps in distance , intermediate and near vision • Dependent on the size of pupil to utilize the required zone of lens. • Limitation : High dysphotopsicsymptoms, high intolerance to pupil decentration and significant loss of contrast sensitivity
  • 33.
    Diffractive MIOL • Principle: utilizes diffraction in conjuction with refraction to create a new foci • Refraction by anterior surface and diffraction by the posterior surface with multiple grooves / microscopic steps • Light divided into two foci 41% each for near and distance and 18% lost to HOA • Less pupil dependent and more tolerance to decentration.

    Toric IOLs referto astigmatism correcting intraocular lenses used at the time of cataract surgery to decrease post-operative astigmatism. Toric IOLs • 1st Toric IOL was introduced by Shimizu • And it was non foldable 3-piece • Patient selection, IOL calculation, postop lens stability are the key features for success
  • 38.
    Advantages of ToricIOL • Better results than monofocal iol and limbal relaxing incision • Average postoperative toric iol rotation <5‘ • Quality of visionn can be improved with bilateral toric IOL implantation • Multifocal Toric IOL can improve distance, intermediate and near Vision (challenge is preoperative assessments which is very crucial) • Postoperative residual astigmatism <1D in 89% and 88% multifocal toric and toric IOL respectively
  • 39.
    Disadvantage of ToricIOL • Improper alignment or rotation of the IOL after surgery may result in more residual astigmatism than predicted.- • Generally for every 1' of IOL rotation - 3.3% of cylindrical power lost • A complete loss of cylindrical power occurs can occur with a rotation of >30 • Astigmatism more than 4D at corneal plane still remains dificult to correct with toric iol. • Irregular astigmatism can not be corrected

    ACCOMMODATION • It isa dioptric change in the power of the eye • Ciliary muscle contraction causes a release in zonular tension at the equator, which permits the capsule to mould the young lens into an accommodated form to focus the near • Presbyopia, age related loss of accommodation -gradual age related stiffening of the lens Accommodative IOLs
  • 41.
    • Restoring thetrue, dynamic and continuous range of focusing ability of the eye • Monovision , bifocal, multifocal modalities does not restore active change in power of the eye that occurs during accommodation • Accomodative IOLS restore true accommodation to the presbyopic eye and provide a range of clear vision.
