Phaco surgery with intraocular lens implantation is the most effective way to restore vision from cataracts. However, do you know about the types of intraocular lens (IOL) implants? Choosing the right IOL is very important, so let's learn about these lenses with American Eye Center!
Monofocal lenses are designed to provide the best vision at one distance. Many people who choose monofocals choose to not wear glasses for distance vision, and use reading glasses for near-vision tasks.
Multifocal IOLs have corrective zones built into the lens, much like progressive eyeglasses. This allows you to see both near and far objects. This IOL reduces your dependence on wearing eye glasses.
Extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOLs have only one corrective zone. But this zone is stretched to allow distance and intermediate vision. For reading small print, you will wear reading glasses.
Toric lenses have extra built-in correction for astigmatism. This lens allows vision to focus at a distance and corrects astigmatism.
There will be many types of intraocular lens to use for the cataract surgery. But to select the right type that is appropriate for your eyes and needs, you should see your ophthalmologist for examination and advice.
