Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Context:

  • Multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) are increasingly utilized in both cataract and refractive surgery.
  • These advanced IOLs aim to reduce spectacle dependence for patients post-implantation.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of current multifocal intraocular lens technology.
  • To describe the characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and implantation limitations of different multifocal IOL types.

Summary:

  • The review categorizes multifocal IOLs into two main types: refractive and diffractive.
  • Detailed characteristics, including optical principles and performance metrics, are presented for each type.
  • Key considerations such as visual outcomes, patient selection, and potential side effects are discussed.

Impact:

  • Informs ophthalmologists and refractive surgeons about the latest advancements in multifocal IOLs.
  • Aids in patient counseling by outlining the benefits and limitations of spectacle independence.
  • Contributes to evidence-based decision-making for selecting appropriate multifocal IOLs in clinical practice.
