An IOL or intraocular lens is plastic, fabricated specially to replace your natural lens within your eye. This allows the focus of images with your retina, delivering outstanding vision.
The four types of IOL’s include:
Standard IOL: This lens type offers you clear vision at a specific distance.
TORIC IOL: This lens type is designed to perform all the functions of the standard lens, in addition to correcting astigmatism in your eye.
Multifocal IOL: This lens type has a variety of focusing attributes. It offers clear vision from close, intermediate, and far distances.
Accommodative IOL: This lens type can move within your eye for clear vision at close, intermediate, and far distances.
Your doctor will discuss the four types of IOL’s and determine which type suits your needs best.
