Activity Outline

Understanding the nuances of the latest IOLs and choosing the best option for our patients from the current, ever-evolving available IOL list, can be challenging. In this article, Dr Anton van Heerden investigates the different IOL options available and what surgeons consider when deciding which IOL option is best for each individual patient. Additionally, he explores the standard of care and emerging IOL technologies that are currently available in Australia.

Intraocular lens (IOL) technology is rapidly evolving, allowing us to provide incredible visual results for our cataract surgery patients. The speed of the IOL ‘technological evolution’ can, however, be overwhelming, with new IOL options being brought to market on what seems like a daily basis.
