Step 1

First, know the three zones

An IOL is the clear artificial lens placed in your eye during cataract surgery. Different IOLs cover different everyday distances:

  • Far — Road, TV, outdoors
  • Mid — Laptop, dashboard
  • Near — Books, phone, print

Premium lenses cover more zones. Your surgeon matches the choice to your eye health — not only your wishlist.

Step 2

Tap a lens — see it once, clearly

Everything about that lens stays here: picture, Far / Mid / Near, who it suits, and what to watch for.

Start from:
Clear distance vision for driving and outdoor life
Far only

Monofocal

One clear distance — usually far. Simple and reliable.

Star ratings from our patient IOL guide — your surgeon matches the lens to your eye tests.

Toric can be added to suitable lenses when you have astigmatism — it corrects warped blur, not the Far / Mid / Near pattern itself.

Next step

Confirm with your eye tests

This guide is for understanding. Your doctor will check cornea, retina, and lifestyle — then recommend the safest lens for you.
