ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss available premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), patient selection, and important considerations for each premium IOL. RECENT FINDINGS:
We review important topics and considerations for premium IOL selection specifically, toric, extended depth of focus (EDOF), multifocal/trifocal, light adjustable lenses (LALs), and small aperture IOLs. Toric lenses are an excellent option for patients with astigmatism. However, to achieve optimal patient satisfaction, it is critical to account for the ATR astigmatism contribution from the posterior cornea and high angle alphas. Additionally, examining the ocular surface prior to placement of EDOF/multifocal IOLs is important, yet the significance of HOAs on outcomes after implantation still must be elucidated more. Finally, recent studies reveal that the small aperture lens is a good alternative for those with corneal irregularities, and second generation LALs are a great option to achieve target refractions in those with less predictable refractive outcomes, such as in Fuchs' dystrophy or in eyes with previous refractive surgery.
