What are intraocular lenses?
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are high-quality medical implants that are inserted into the eye as a replacement for the natural lens to treat cataracts. IOLs are made from well-tolerated synthetics of a very high medical quality and are generally soft and foldable.
What are the advantages of a standard intraocular lens?
Standard IOLs are monofocal lenses that enable the best vision at a specific distance. Beyond simply treating cataracts, an existing ametropia (shortsightedness or farsightedness) can be individually taken into account and corrected when your ophthalmologist selects the lens. The previous lens power can be integrated into the intraocular lens. In most cases, reading glasses or progressive spectacles are still required for near-vision
