Cataracts are a leading cause of vision loss, but modern cataract surgery offers a safe and effective solution. At the heart of this procedure is the intraocular lens (IOL), an artificial lens that replaces the eye’s cloudy natural lens. With today’s technology, patients in Karachi can benefit from clearer, sharper vision that lasts a lifetime.

What Are Intraocular Lenses?

An intraocular lens is a tiny, permanent lens implant placed inside the eye during cataract surgery. Unlike glasses or contact lenses, IOLs remain in the eye and require no extra care once healing is complete. Their purpose is to focus light clearly on the retina, restoring vision that was lost due to cataracts.

Types of Intraocular Lenses

Modern IOLs come in several designs to meet different vision needs:

  • Monofocal IOLs: Provide clear vision at one distance, usually far, with glasses needed for reading.
  • Multifocal IOLs: Reduce dependency on glasses by offering vision at multiple distances.
  • Toric IOLs: Correct astigmatism while addressing cataracts.
  • Extended Depth-of-Focus (EDOF) IOLs: Offer a broader range of focus for everyday activities.

Your eye specialist will guide you in selecting the best option based on lifestyle and eye health.

Benefits of IOLs

  • Restored clear vision and reduced glare
  • Improved quality of life for daily tasks like reading or driving
  • Customized options to match personal vision needs
  • Long-lasting results without the need for replacement
