A new lens option for enhanced monovision performanceIn “modified monovision”, which can be achieved with a new IOL, one eye predominantly manages distance vision and the other near vision—as with standard monovision—but the extended depth of field provides a degree of intermediate vision that is independent of spectacles.

YAG-shots in IOLs: Safe or dangerous?Poorly focused YAG shots lead irrevocably to a permanent defect in the IOL material and thus to possible effects on the quality of vision with straylight or glare. In a recent study, the differing amounts of damage that Nd:YAG causes in a range of hydrophilic and hydrophobic acrylic lens materials was assessed.
