IOL Reference

The reference for FDA-approved intraocular lenses — the specifications surgeons plan from, and what patients actually see afterwards.

For clinicians

Browse the lens database: model numbers, A-constants, materials, optic design and power ranges for every FDA-approved intraocular lens, plus the surgical calculators, the model-number index and Agent Ridley.

For patients

Read patient experiences: how people actually see with each lens after cataract surgery — reading, night driving, halos and glare, and whether they still wear glasses. Questions follow the instruments used in published IOL research.

Built and maintained by Matt Hirabayashi, MD and Gurpal Virdi, MD, independent of industry and with no financial relationships to lens manufacturers. See about, IOL basics or contact.
