An intraocular lens (IOL) is a clear artificial lens implanted in the eye, most often in place of the natural lens at cataract surgery, and different designs correct distance vision, near vision or astigmatism.

Moorfields sets out the choices: monofocal lenses for sharp distance vision with reading glasses still needed, EDOF lenses covering distance and intermediate ranges, trifocal lenses intended to free you from glasses, and toric lenses for astigmatism.

Some lenses, known as phakic lenses, are placed without removing the natural lens to correct strong prescriptions, and the ICL page includes these.

Moorfields points out that not every lens suits every patient, and the choice depends on eye health, any other eye conditions and how the person uses their eyes day to day.

It points out that 5 to 10% of people with trifocal or multifocal lenses may notice haloes or glare around lights, which can settle over time.

Flying home: UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance puts the wait after surgery inside the eye at roughly a week, once the surgeon has examined the eye.

A Gurgaon quote for intraocular lens implants is normally made up of these items:

• Lens: brand and material.
• Measurements: of the eye ahead of surgery.
