What types of replacement lenses are available?
Answer:
During cataract surgery, the clouded natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). Common options include:
- Monofocal lenses for one focal distance
- Multifocal lenses for near and distance vision
- Toric lenses to correct astigmatism
- Extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) lenses for a broader range of vision
Your ophthalmologist can help determine which lens best fits your lifestyle and vision goals.
