Premium multifocal intraocular lens: Pearls and practices

Abstract

Cataract surgery has gradually evolved from being a visual restoration surgery to a refractive surgery. Patients are gradually shifting from traditional intraocular lens (IOL) to high end premium IOL which provide reduced spectacle dependence and in turn greater patient satisfaction. However, these premium lenses are not without cons and calls for meticulous pre-operative calculation, realistic counseling, and perfect surgical technique. This in-depth review provides insight into the varieties of multifocal IOL, selection criteria, pre-operative planning and calculation, surgical technique, and comprehensive post-operative complication management.
