The final step in cataract surgery is IOL implantation, which provides cataract patients with clear vision after surgery. Currently, there are mainly non-folding IOLs and folding IOLs. The advantages of folding IOLs are smaller surgical incisions, less post-operative astigmatism, and better visual outcomes, which are beneficial to the patient’s recovery. With the popularity of foldable IOLs, people are more willing to choose the one with fast recovery period. However, there are many types of foldable IOLs, so how can we properly choose the right IOL for ourselves?
Foldable IOL Crystal features: small incision, fast recovery after surgery, good stability in intraocular position, low incidence of posterior cataract, light inflammatory reaction after implantation, and UV protection. Heparin Foldable IOL, an IOL specially designed for diabetic patients.
Aspheric IOL Lens features: smaller implantation incision, with the advantages of foldable lens, wide range of degrees, suitable for ultra-high myopic eyes, clearer vision and better night vision Astigmatism correction IOL Lens features: with the advantages of foldable lens, at the same time can correct the patient’s preoperative corneal astigmatism, clearer vision
Multifocal IOL Crystal Features: With the advantages of aspheric crystal, it can meet the demand for both distance and near vision at the same time, and most patients do not need to wear presbyopia after implantation.
Ordinary rigid IOL Crystal characteristics: stable performance, cheap, slightly larger surgical incision, suitable for blindness prevention and remote rural patients with difficult economic conditions.
For patients with simple cataract but high requirements for visual quality, aspheric folding IOLs are very suitable. They can supplement the negative spherical aberration after the removal of the patient’s own crystal, with better visual fidelity and higher comfort, and are also more suitable for cataract patients who need to drive at night. When choosing an IOL, cataract patients can listen to their doctor’s advice and choose the right IOL for their situation. Not the most expensive is the best, only the most suitable for you is the best.
