During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens, also called an IOL. The lens selected can influence distance vision, reading vision, astigmatism correction and dependence on glasses after surgery.
At Laxmi Eye Hospital & Institute, lens selection is personalized after measurements and a discussion about lifestyle. Patients can also review the main cataract surgery in Navi Mumbai page for the complete treatment journey.

| Multifocal / Trifocal Lens | Designed to reduce dependence on glasses across multiple distances. | Selected patients with healthy eyes and suitable lifestyle needs. |
