<p>The eyes are one of the most crucial body parts, providing us with the vision to see and experience our surroundings. But sometimes, people might develop several medical conditions that can affect eye health, causing problems in vision.</p>
<p>One of the most common problems associated with the eye is <a href="../../all-about-cataract" target="_blank">cataracts</a>. Cataracts can be developed in either of the eyes or both eyes. It is a kind of condition wherein the light is blocked by the eye lens that becomes completely or partially opaque (from which light cannot pass). This condition hinders the person from clearly seeing the surroundings due to blurred vision.&nbsp;<a href="../../blog/all-you-need-to-know-about-cataracts" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to know all about cataracts.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, when you have a cataract, the primary treatment to go for is <a href="../../cataract-surgery" target="_blank">cataract surgery</a>. Cataract surgery involves the removal of that blurred lens and replacing it with an artificial lens in order to improve vision. This artificial lens is known as Intraocular Lens (IOL).</p>

<p class="Standard">Choosing the right cataract lens is very important to correct your vision. In this article, we will be talking about how you can select the <a href="../../types-of-cataract-lenses" target="_blank">correct cataract lens for yourself</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="Standard"><strong>What is Intraocular Lens (IOL)?</strong></h2>
<p class="Standard">An Intraocular lens is used in cataract surgery, where it is placed in the place of the eye lens and helps the patient see clearly.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="Standard"><img src="https://www.akhandjyoti.com/public/backend/assets/img/blog-image/Image for Blog 832px X 552px-05.jpg" alt="cataract lens" width="832" height="552" /></p>
<p class="Standard">There are different types from which one can choose cataract lenses. Here they are!&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="Standard">1. Monofocal Lens&nbsp;</h3>
<p>People generally choose a monofocal lens to improve vision at far and use spectacles to focus on near objects for close up after cataract surgery. Patients will need eyeglasses for reading, sewing, etc.</p>
<h3>2. Toric lenses</h3>
<p>Toric lenses are prescribed to patients who are suffering from astigmatism. Astigmatism is the eye condition where the curvature of the eye lens or cornea gets affected and causes blurry vision at all distances.</p>
<h3>3. Multifocal Lens</h3>
<p>These lenses help provide sharp vision at both far and near distances. Moreover, these lenses also reduce the chances of using the glasses for near vision after cataract surgery.</p>
<h3>4.Trifocal Lens</h3>
<p>The trifocal lens provides a better and crisper vision for near, intermediate, and distant visions. It is the best and most convenient lens option for those who can afford it. Using this lens reduces the chances of using spectacles after cataract surgery.</p>
<h2>How to Pick the Right Cataract Lens?</h2>
<p>In order to choose the right cataract lens for your <a href="../../blog/phaco-vs-sics-which-cataract-surgery-procedure-is-a-better-option" target="_blank">cataract operation</a>, you first need to know what your requirements are. For instance, if you are comfortable wearing glasses and your budget for cataract surgery is low, then monofocal lenses are good. If you suffer from Astigmatism or other eye conditions, the doctor or eye specialist may suggest you Toric lens for the cataract surgery. Finally, if you want to reduce your chances of wearing glasses, and budget is not an issue, then you can go for Multifocal or Trifocal lenses.</p>
<p><a href="../../blog/what-type-of-iol-should-i-choose-for-my-cataract-surgery" target="_blank">Choosing the right lens</a>&nbsp;depends upon what you want in order to improve your eyesight and lifestyle.</p>
<p>Apart from the needs, there are some parameters on which you can decide the best-suited cataract lens for surgery. Here they are!</p>
<h3>1. Cataract Surgery Costs</h3>
<p>Intraocular Lenses cost differently. Cataract surgery is a simple and safe process. The cost of cataract surgery primarily depends upon the type of lens used, the procedure, and the expertise of the eye surgeon.</p>

<h3>2. Pre-Existing Ailments</h3>
<p>If you already have eye problems like advanced glaucoma (damaged optic nerve), degeneration of the Retina, corneal disorders, etc., then Multifocal lenses or Toric lenses are preferred by doctors. Multifocal and Toric lenses correct your pre-existing and current eye issues, thereby providing you with clear vision.</p>
<p>Depending upon these factors, you can select a lens for yourself. Cataract lenses are highly beneficial in correcting vision so that you can see clearly. Thus, before going for the cataract treatment, remember to think properly and then select the lens that suits your needs.</p>

Patients might have different eye problems and based on this, the doctor can suggest the correct lens for the cataract surgery.</em></h4>
