<p><a href="../../cataract-surgery" target="_blank">Cataract surgery</a>&nbsp;<em>or Motyabind operation</em> is a surgical procedure wherein the surgeon removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens. The artificial lens put in as part of cataract treatment is called an Intraocular Lens (IOL).</p>

<p>Previously the lenses that were inserted to treat&nbsp;<a href="../../cataract" target="_blank">cataracts</a> were available in only one type. These lenses were meant to treat the cataract only. These lenses couldn't improve the patient&rsquo;s vision affected due to other eye conditions or diseases. However, thanks to the advancements in the medical field, several different types of lenses are available for patients to choose from. Patients can now choose to have powerful lenses inserted into their eyes during the cataract operation. These advanced lenses can not only correct the cataract but also cure other vision conditions and diseases to improve patient's vision.</p>
<p>So, patients now have the option to choose from&nbsp;<a href="../../types-of-cataract-lenses" target="_blank">different intraocular lenses</a> and have the best lens or most suited lens inserted during their cataract surgery. Depending on the type of vision they want and their expectations after the surgery, patients can talk to their doctor and explore all lens options. Different types of lenses can help patients improve their close vision, intermediate vision, or distant vision. It is essential to understand all types of cataract lenses available, their functions and their benefits through a detailed discussion with the doctor. Only the eye doctor or specialist can suggest the best lesn option considering your eye condition. We suggest you to speak to your doctor in detail before you leave the doctor's chamber and get the understanding of all lens options for your cataract operation.</p>
<h2>Cataract/ Motiyabind Operation Lens Types</h2>
<p><strong>Following are the different types of lenses which can be Toric, Monofocal or Multifocal intraocular lenses available to be inserted during cataract surgical treatment:</strong></p>
<h2>1. Toric Lenses:</h2>
<p>These lenses are especially helpful for people with a condition of the eye wherein the outside or the inside of the eye lens has a mismatched curvature (Astigmatism). It is a common and treatable eye problem. It may cause blurred vision, eye strain, and headaches. Having toric lenses inserted in the eye during cataract surgery can help astigmatism patients to see clearly and get rid of headaches caused by the condition.</p>
<h2>2. Monofocal Lenses:</h2>
<p>These are standard and most common lenses used for Cataract Surgery. These lenses help patients see clearly but only at a near or far distance. Doctors mostly restore distant vision with a Monofocal lens and prescribes spectacles after the cataract operation to see up close, for reading, sewing, etc. Hence, the patients who chooses to use a Monofocal lens, are require to wear eyeglasses after the cataract surgery.</p>

Talk to your eye doctor or specialist in detail if you intend to use a Multifocal lens for your cataract surgery. The doctor is the only person to suggest if a Multifocal lens would be suited for you or not.</p>
<h2>Using Different&nbsp;Types Of Cataract Operation&nbsp;Lenses (IOLs) In Both Eyes</h2>
<p>Based on patient&rsquo;s eye condition, the doctor or the eye surgeon will help the patient decide which kind of lens will be most suitable. In most cases, doctors suggest the same type of lens for both the eyes.</p>
<p><strong>Sometimes, the doctor may suggest one type of lens for one eye and another type for the second eye.</strong></p>
<p>This is not suggested by the doctor very often. <strong>The doctor may suggest different types of lenses for both eyes only after reviewing all factors such as patient&rsquo;s needs and expectations, budget for the surgery, clinical limitations, etc.</strong> A patient must speak to the doctor regarding this in detail before the surgery.&nbsp;</p>

When this happens, cataract/ motiyabind patients will experience sudden vision loss and should immediately consult with their doctor.</p>

<p>Cataract surgery or Motiyabind operation has a great success rate of about 99%. It is very rare to experience severe complications after surgery.</p>
