ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the intraocular lenses (IOLs) currently used in cataract surgery. The topics covered include the history of IOLs, their design and materials, the appropriate anatomical location for IOL implantation, as well as the pathophysiology of uveal biocompatibility, capsular biocompatibility, and the relative complications based on IOL design. This article does not mention poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA) and silicone IOLs, which are not widely used in current practice.
Keywords: Lenses, intraocular; cataract, nuclear total; multifocal intraocular lenses; capsule opacification; polymethyl methacrylate
