Factors to Consider in Selecting Monofocal Intra ocular Lenses

A panelist discusses how various factors influence IOL selection for cataract surgery patients, including patient lifestyle needs, ocular conditions, and specific lens features like the CT Lucia 621P's wide diopter range and spherical aberration compensation capabilities.

Video content above is prompted by the following:

  • What are some key factors you consider when selecting and recommending IOLs for cataract surgery patients?
  • What are the potential benefits of using monofocal aspheric IOLs, particularly in comparison to multifocal or toric IOLs?
  • Are there specific patient groups or ocular conditions for which monofocal aspheric IOLs are particularly well suited?
  • Can you discuss some key features of the CT Lucia 621P IOL that make it stand out in this category?
  • Wide diopter range
  • Less susceptible to decentration
  • Compensates for a wide range of spherical aberrations
  • For which patients in your practice do you recommend this IOL? Why?
