KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS
- Presbyopia represents an increasing medical challenge world-wide
- Utilization rate of presbyopia correcting IOLs (PCIOLs) during cataract surgery remains low
- Current available PCIOLs in Canada include the accommodating, multifocal/trifocal, EDOF (diffractive and nondiffractive), and hybrid of EDOF/MF IOLs
- For cataract patients who desire high spectacle independence and are able to tolerate some level of visual disturbances, full range vision IOLs such as PanOptix® trifocal IOL should be considered
- For cataract patients who are concerned about potential visual disturbances, the non-diffractive EDOF Vivity™ IOLs are an excellent choice, which provides extended range of vision from distance to functional near with a monofocal like visual disturbances profile
