Abstract

With an explosive increase in the worldwide prevalence of presbyopia, development of an accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) with expansive accommodative amplitude remains the holy grail in lens-based refractive surgery. A dynamic change in the dioptric power of the eye can be accomplished by various strategies alone or in combination, including changes in the position, shape, or refractive index of a single- or dual- optic IOL. This article reviews the cumulative advances in these various lens designs, along with clinical outcomes and complications of those that have been implanted. The challenges that remain in each cat-egory are also highlighted.
