[Complex optical systems for individualized correction of presbyopia]

A multitude of available intraocular lens (IOL) models enable a personalized approach to presbyopia correction in order to meet each patient's needs. This review article discusses more complex approaches which can be useful in selected cases. The concept of reversible trifocality enables correction of presbyopia using a supplementary intraocular lens (IOL), which can be removed if necessary (e.g., intolerance to multifocal optics). The use of capsulotomy-fixated IOLs enables high precision for positioning of the lens and better stability compared to conventional capsular bag-fixated IOLs, which can be particularly advantageous in multifocal optics. The mix and match concept enables a combination of different IOLs with various optical principles to achieve the desired binocular effect. Binocular IOL systems, which consist of two complementary IOLs, can be seen as a further development of the mix and match concept. Knowledge of the available options and their application can further improve correction of presbyopia.
