Thanks to the advancements in technology, cataract surgeries now involve seamless procedures with new and advanced artificial lenses. These artificial lenses (IOLs) for cataract operation have revolutionized the field of Ophthalmology, restoring vision and improving the quality of life for millions of people worldwide.
In 2025, there are several advanced lens options available for cataract surgery, each designed to address specific vision needs. The ideal choice depends on your lifestyle, eye health, and visual goals. Here are some of the options for best types of lenses :
1. Monofocal lenses: These are intraocular lenses that can only focus on one particular distance, either near or far. Generally, doctors restore distant vision with monofocal lenses and prescribe eyeglasses to focus up close to see near objects. After the operation, people would need spectacles for reading, cooking, use mobile phones, etc. These lenses are most cost effective and popular amongst patients.
2. Multifocal lenses: Multifocal lenses restores vision for all distances such as near, intermediate and far. Using of Multifocal lenses reduces the chance of wearing eyeglasses after the cataract operation. If budget is not a constraint, and if the patient wants a spectacle-free life after the cataract surgery, these lenses are good fit though Multifocal lenses do not fit everyone. Talk to your eye specialist and see if you are the right candidate for this lens.
3. Toric lenses: These are a type of intraocular lens (IOL) specifically designed to correct Astigmatism during cataract surgery. Astigmatism is a refractive error caused by an irregular shape of the cornea or lens in the eye, ressulting in blurry or distorted vision at all distances. If the patient suffers from Astigmatism, specialised toric lenses are recommended by eye surgeons. These can be Monofocal Toric lenses or Multifocal Toric lenses, tailored to address astigmatism and provide optimal vision correction. Toric lenses correct both Astigmatism and Cataract. Using Toric lenses also reduces the scope of wearing spectacles after cataract surgery for Astigmatism.
