Research summary
Artificial lenses, otherwise known as intraocular lenses (IOLs), are used to replace the natural crystalline lens within the eye during cataract or refractive lens surgery. Monofocal IOLs are the traditional IOL type used during cataract surgery. These monofocal IOLs provide excellent distance vision, however spectacles are required for reading and intermediate distance tasks. Monofocal Intraocular lenses are the mainstay of cataract surgery, but with advancing technologies and a wider selection of lenses available, demand for improved outcomes, improved lens design and ease of surgical implantation have increased. The purpose of this study is to assess the visual performance of the EyeCee One monofocal intraocular lens. In addition an assessment of the ease of insertion by the surgeon will be quantified.
