Confused about which IOL to choose? Let’s review the options and determine the best fit for your needs.

Types of Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) We Offer at Claritas Eye & Retina Institute

IOLs, or intraocular lenses, are artificial lenses implanted inside the eye through cataract surgery, replacing the clouded natural crystalline lens. There are various kinds of IOLs available which a patient can choose to use under the guidance of a Cataract Surgeon, such as:
Lens

Monofocal IOLs
They provide clear vision at a single distance; they are usually set for distance vision. Patients who wear them would need reading glasses for near work.

Multifocal IOLs
These IOLs have been designed to give sharp images at multiple distances, reducing or eliminating reliance on both distance and reading glasses. However, some people may experience colored halos, or glare due to concentric rings in the design of these lenses.

Toric IOL
These lenses, especially for patients who have astigmatism, correct the irregular shape of the cornea and offer excellent vision without relying on additional corrective glasses.

EDOF IOL
Or Extended Depth of Focus IOL. The design of EDOF Lenses allows for both excellent distance and intermediate vision without glasses. The design does not have any concentric rings in the IOL, therefore, there are no bothersome halos seen with EDOF IOLs.

FAQs

1. How do I know if I need cataract surgery?
You may need cataract surgery if you notice blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, or if your vision affects your daily activities, such as reading or driving.
Cataract surgery typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, and it’s usually done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the same day.
Many patients no longer need glasses for distance vision after cataract surgery, especially if they choose multifocal or accommodative IOLs. However, you may still need reading glasses.
Cataract surgery is generally safe, but risks include infection, bleeding, retinal detachment, or increased intraocular pressure. These risks are rare, and most patients have a smooth recovery.
Most patients can return to work within 1-2 days, depending on the nature of their job and their recovery. Avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks after surgery.
In most cases, cataract surgery is done one eye at a time. However, in certain situations, both eyes can be treated in a single session.
