Cataract IOL Options
Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implant Choices After Cataract Surgery
An intraocular lens (IOL) is a clear, artificial lens implant used to replace a cloudy natural lens in cataract surgery. Selecting the right implant for your eye is very important for your vision after surgery. Your doctor will take measurements before your surgery to select the proper lens implant for your eye. Your surgeon will discuss with you the various lens options available to you.
