There are many types of IOLs and the price points vary greatly, so patients are often confused about the choice of IOLs when faced with cataract surgery.
The first thing to look at is whether the procedure is cataract ultrasound emulsion surgery technique and how effective the treatment is?
If you are in a grassroots or more marginal area that is not equipped to perform this advanced technology and still focuses on cataract extracapsular extraction combined with IOL surgery, there is no need for you to choose a folding IOL but only a non-folding IOL. The price of IOLs for patients of the general sight restoration project, i.e. free surgery, is within $100. On the contrary, the mature cataract ultrasound phacoemulsification technology can match the folded IOLs and implant them through a 3mm incision.
Secondly, it depends on what your financial condition is?
If you can, try to choose the aspheric folding IOL or the blue light considered aspheric folding IOL, the price is from 2000 to 3000 RMB (different brands), among which the blue light filtered one, which is usually called yellow lens by the doctor, is more expensive, but the color vision effect after surgery is better and the color is more realistic.
The third depends on whether you have ideas for higher-end visual needs?
For example, you often use cell phones, read newspapers, operate washing machines, induction cookers, microwave ovens, and so on. You can choose a multifocal IOL with near-use capabilities at a price point of $8,000 to $9,000. This crystal has both aspheric and yellow lens functions. Other IOLs under $3,000 can only see at a distance and cannot be seen near without a fluoroscope.
