Abstract
The wide array of intraocular lenses (IOLs) commercially available today ma kes it a formidable challenge to choose the most appropriate lens for the p atient. Many wonder whether there truly are clinical differences among vari ous IOLs. This update traces the evolution of IOLs in response to the wides pread acceptance of phacoemulsification, and discusses the respective advan tages and disadvantages of the IOLs available today based on clinical inves tigations.
