Advances in small incision surgery have enabled cataract surgery to develop from being concerned primarily with the safe removal of the opaque crystalline lens into a procedure refined to yield the best possible postoperative refractive result.
Cataract removal with Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in current clinical practice. Modern microsurgical techniques, new IOL technologies, sophisticated biometry methods, and advanced methods of IOL power calculation allow most cataract patients to regain high-quality vision.
