Which lens are good for cataract surgery?

Intraocular lenses: There are many types of intraocular lenses (iols) which are used for cataract surgery. Most people have basic iols which will correct either distance or reading vision. People with astigmatism can receive a toric iol to reduce this. Others choose to have an iol which can correct both distance and reading vision. Your surgeon will discuss these options with you when you're ready for surgery.

Most: Most all intra ocular lens implants are "good". It all depends on the intended out come! there are mono lenses (single distance, usual intended outcome is either fare or near), multi-focal (lens with ability to focus both far and near out of a single lens, intended to do just that both far and near vision), accommodating lens (intended to flex and do both far and near).

Lens options: There are 3 key options for cataract surgery: monofocal (give you ability to see 1 distance); multifocal (see multiple distances but risk of glare/halos); accommodative lenses (allow multiple distances; less risk of glare; but may not work as well for reading vision especially over time).
