When cataract development advances to a point when vision is severely affected and cannot be improved through the use of spectacles, the patient experiences difficulty with his daily activities at work or at home. Reading or driving a car becomes a real problem. In such situations, cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the optimal solution. Like the natural lens, an IOL, or artificial lens, refracts the light rays entering the eye and allows them to be projected onto the retina, forming a clear, sharp image.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Several types of IOLs are currently available, varying by design and materials. The surgeon\u2019s choice takes into account individual eye characteristics, the health of the eye structures, and the visual needs of the patient.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Monofocal intraocular lenses are the most common implants. They focus light into one point. With a monofocal lens, vision can be restored by providing spectacle-free vision for either near range or for distance<\/h2><\/div><\/div>

The most common solution is to restore distance vision, with reading and some other near-range activities requiring the use of glasses. Monofocal lenses have this limitation because they are not able to change their shape when the patient looks at objects at different distances and ranges. Nevertheless, they are a very useful and well-proven solution used by eye surgeons for decades.<\/p>\n
