Before intraocular lenses were invented, cataract patients relied on these extremely thick glasses for vision correction.
Aphakic Glasses
100
This Johnson & Johnson enhanced monofocal lens improves distance and intermediate vision while still being covered by insurance.
Eyhance (DIB00)
100
A patient has significant corneal astigmatism and wants to reduce their dependence on distance glasses after cataract surgery. The surgeon chooses this type of lens.
Toric Lens

Johnson and Johnson
100
This lens corrects corneal astigmatism
Toric Lens
200

200
This Johnson & Johnson toric lens corrects distance vision and astigmatism.
TECNIS Toric (ZCU)
200
the patient has advanced macular degeneration- what lens is the best fit due to the limited visual outcome?
Monofocal
200
The enVista and Envy lens families are made by this manufacturer
Bausch & Lomb
200
Traditional monofocal lenses typically correct vision at this distance
Distance
300
Early IOLs were made from this aircraft canopy material.
PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate)

This Alcon multifocal lens provides distance, intermediate, and near vision and also corrects astigmatism.
PanOptix Pro Toric
300
A patient wants excellent distance vision but still hopes for slightly better intermediate vision than a traditional monofocal lens provides. They also might not qualify for a full premium IOL. What lens might be offered?
enhanced monofocal / monofocal-plus lens (Eyhance or enVista Aspire)

Johnson and Johnson
400
These lenses slightly improve intermediate vision compared to standard monofocal lenses

Phacoemulsification
500
+ Bausch and Lomb = what lens family?
