Transform Vision Today With Cataract Surgery Lens Consultation
Types of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)
When undergoing cataract surgery, patients have several options for intraocular lenses (IOLs), each offering unique benefits:
- Monofocal IOLs: These lenses provide clear vision at one distance, typically set for distance vision, requiring glasses for reading or close work.
- Multifocal IOLs: Designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances, these lenses can reduce or eliminate the need for glasses altogether.
- Toric IOLs: Specifically for patients with astigmatism, toric lenses correct this condition while also addressing the cataract.
- Accommodative IOLs: These lenses shift position within the eye to allow for focus at multiple distances, mimicking the natural lens's flexibility.
With these options, patients are encouraged to search options and consult with their ophthalmologist to determine the best lens type for their lifestyle and vision goals.
