Cataract Surgery - Types of Lenses
Monofocal IOLs: Monofocal IOLs are the most common type of lens used in cataract surgery. This type of intraocular lens (IOL) comes in spherical and toric shapes.
EDOF IOLs: Extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs provide a range of focus that allows for clear vision at various distances. These lenses are becoming more common and can provide an alternative to multifocal lenses.
Trifocal IOLs: Trifocal IOLs provide a range of focus at near, intermediate and distance vision. These lenses are designed to reduce the need for glasses after cataract surgery and provide a full range of vision. However, they may not be suitable for everyone.
