Cataract surgery is the removal of the eye’s clouded natural lens and its replacement with a clear artificial intraocular lens. The aim is to reduce blurred vision and improve the patient’s daily quality of life. The lens type is selected according to the patient’s eye structure, age, occupation, and visual expectations.
Multifocal, trifocal, and EDOF lenses are special intraocular lenses designed to reduce the need for glasses at far, intermediate, and near distances after cataract surgery. Toric lenses are used to correct astigmatism and provide clearer vision. Not every lens is suitable for every patient; retinal health, corneal condition, intraocular pressure, and night vision expectations must all be evaluated together.
Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is a technique that allows certain steps of cataract surgery to be performed in a highly precise and planned manner using laser technology. It is also commonly referred to as robotic cataract surgery. In suitable patients, it may support surgical precision; however, lens selection and surgical experience are equally important factors in achieving optimal outcomes.
Presbyopia is the age-related loss of near focusing ability, typically occurring after the age of 40. During cataract surgery, special intraocular lenses may be used in selected patients to address both near and intermediate vision needs. The most appropriate option is determined by evaluating ocular anatomy and daily visual requirements together.
During cataract surgery or intraocular lens procedures, customized lens options may be used to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The goal is not only to remove the cataract but also to enhance postoperative visual quality. Lens selection is individualized and requires detailed biometry, corneal measurements, and retinal evaluation.
