It is interesting that cataract surgery has become very advanced and successful. The reason is
the new technology and the good quality of lenses that can be implanted in the eye during
cataract surgery.
So one must know which lens to choose for cataract surgery.
1. Monofocal lens – these can give good distance vision but for near one will need
glasses.
2. Monofocal toric lens – always ask the doctor if this option is needed as if there is
significant astigmatism or cylindrical number these lenses can improve the distance
vision significantly.
3. Multifocal lens – these lenses provide good vision in all distances, distance and near.
These are very useful in reducing the dependence on glasses for near.
However they are not suitable for night driving in many cases and hence have to be
chosed judiciously.
4. Multifocal toric lens – these lenses are good for near and distance vision and in
addition to this they correct the existing astigmatism or cylindrical power. This is
good choice for spectacle independence. Though the cost maybe on the higher side.
5. Trifocal lens – these have three points of clear focus, near distance and intermediate
for computer work. Again these are very useful for spectacle independence.
6. EDOF lens – these lenses can give good range of vision and depth of focus at
different distances, however for reading one may still need glasses.
The choice depends, on need, nature of work, budget and should match your expectations.
Always discuss with your eye doctor about these lenses and then plan your surgery.
