ABSTRACT
The evolution of the new generation monofocal introcular lenses continues to shape the future of cataract surgery. Advancements in optical design, materials, and surgical techniques have resulted in improved visual outcomes and patient satisfaction. The primary goals of new generation monofocal intraocular lens design are to decrease posterior capsule opacification rates, to avoid spherical aberrations, and to minimize the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays on the retina. Three important elements worth mentioning here are spherical aberration profiles, optic edge designs, and blue-blocking filters. As technology continues to develop, further studies and innovations are expected to refine these intraocular lenses and offer even more tailored solutions for patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Keywords: Lenses, intraocular; corneal wavefront aberration; new generation monofocal IOL; spheric aberration profile; optic edge design; blue-blocking filter
