What are the different types of intraocular lenses implanted after cataract surgery?

As the natural lens plays a vital role in focusing light for clear vision, artificial-lens implantation at the time of cataract surgery is necessary to yield the best visual results. Because the implant is placed in or near the original position of the removed natural lens, vision can be restored, and peripheral vision, depth perception, and image size should not be affected. Artificial lenses are intended to remain permanently in place, require no maintenance or handling, and are neither felt by the patient nor noticed by others.

There are a variety of intraocular lens styles available for implantation, including monofocal, toric, and multifocal intraocular lenses.

  • Monofocal lens: These lenses are the most commonly implanted lenses today. They have equal power in all regions of the lens and can provide high-quality vision at a single focal point (usually at distance). They usually require only a light pair of spectacles for optimal distance vision correction. However, monofocal lenses do not correct astigmatism, an irregular oblong corneal shape that can distort vision at all distances, and require corrective lenses for all near tasks, such as reading or writing.
  • Toric lens: Toric lenses have more power in one specific region in the lens (similar to spectacles with astigmatism correction in them) to correct astigmatism, which can further improve unaided distance vision for many individuals. Due to the difference in lens power in different areas, the correction of astigmatism with a toric lens requires that the lens be positioned in a very specific configuration. While toric lenses can improve distance vision and astigmatism, they still require corrective lenses for all near tasks, such as reading or writing.
  • Multifocal lens: Multifocal intraocular lenses have a variety of regions with different power within the lens that allows individuals to see at a variety of distances, including distance, intermediate, and near. While promising, multifocal lenses are not for everyone. They can cause significantly more glare than monofocal or toric lenses. Further, multifocal lenses cannot correct astigmatism, and some patients require additional surgery such as LASIK to correct astigmatism and maximize their unaided vision.

LASIK EYE SURGERY IN INDORE:

WHAT IS LASIK? Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis(LASIK), is a surgical procedure which is used for correction of vision in people suffering from refractive defects such as Myopia(Near-sightedness), Hypermetropia(Far-sightedness), and Astigmatism(Corneal Defect). LASIK surgery provides reduction in the power or even freedom from spectacles to the patients and is of great aid in gaining self-confidence as well. LASIK is now one of the most common surgical procedures around the world and is widely used for correction of refractive disorders. It is an outpatient surgical procedure that takes around 10-15 minutes for each eye and the patient is able to see again within hours after the surgery. The actual laser exposure is less than a minute for each eye. HOW DOES LASIK WORK? LASIK works on the principle of sculpting and remodelling of cornea using Excimer Laser(an ultraviolet laser) which delivers the laser correction(Photoblation) into the thickness of cornea. ...

Cataract Symptoms

Image
Having cataracts is often compared to looking through a foggy windshield of a car or through the dirty lens of a camera. Cataracts may cause a variety of complaints and visual changes, including blurred vision, difficulty with glare (often with bright sun or automobile headlights while driving at night), dulled color vision, increased nearsightedness accompanied by frequent changes in eyeglass prescription, and occasionally double vision in one eye. Some people notice a phenomenon called "second sight" in which one's reading vision improves as a result of their increased nearsightedness from swelling of the cataract. A change in glasses may help initially once vision begins to change from cataracts; however, as cataracts continue to progress and opacify, vision becomes cloudy and stronger glasses or contact lenses will no longer improve sight. Cataracts are usually gradual and usually not painful or associated with any eye redness or other symptoms unless they becom...
