  During  cataract surgery , the natural lens of the eye that turns opaque is removed, resulting in loss of focussing power of the eye. This situation would be similar to taking a photograph without a camera lens-pictures would be extremely blurred. When the natural lens of the eye is removed an artificial implant is placed in the eye (IOL). Intraocular Lens (IOL) IOLs are made of special quality acrylic material and can be folded and inserted via less than 2.8 mm incision. The different types of IOLs are: Monofocal IOL A monofocal intraocular lens can be used to give clear point focus either for far or near. Normally a patient is corrected for far vision and given additional glasses for reading purpose. Aspheric IOL These are next generation monofocal IOLs having better contrast perception and reduced night time glare compared to plain monofocal IOLS. This helps in reducing glare during driving at night. Toric IOLs These lenses offer correction of high cylinders and provide e...
