Artificial lenses called intraocular lenses (IOLs) are placed within the eye to replace the natural lens that is removed during cataract surgery. IOLs come in a variety of forms, each intended to meet distinct visual requirements and lifestyles. Advanced technology lenses and Monofocal lenses are the two main kinds.
The most popular kind of intraocular lens used in cataract surgery is the monofocal lens. They are designed to provide sharp vision at one focal point, which may be used for near, mid, or farsighted vision. Patients may still need glasses for tasks at other distances; they only need to choose which distance to prioritise.
