    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Intraocular lens (IOL) design is crucial for refractive error correction after cataract surgery.
    • Recent years have seen consolidation in IOL technology rather than groundbreaking discoveries.
    • Material science and surgical techniques continue to influence IOL development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the current state-of-the-art in intraocular lens design.
    • To identify key trends and areas of ongoing development in IOL technology.
    • To highlight areas of consensus and controversy within the field.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of recent advancements in intraocular lens design.
    • Analysis of material properties, surface modifications, and haptic designs.

  • Evaluation of clinical data and expert opinions on emerging IOL technologies.

    • Main Results:

    • Silicone remains the dominant material for foldable intraocular lenses.
    • High-refractive-index foldable acrylic lenses show promise.
    • Heparin surface modification is recognized for high-risk eyes; surface passivation value is under review.
    • Small-incision intraocular lenses with novel haptics are increasing.
    • Ovoid lens optical quality is questioned; anterior-chamber lenses for phakic myopia remain controversial despite available data.

    Conclusions:

    • The intraocular lens market is characterized by incremental improvements and material refinement.
    • Foldable lenses, particularly silicone and advanced acrylics, are key areas of development.
    • Ongoing research and clinical evaluation are necessary for controversial designs like anterior-chamber lenses for phakic myopia.
