NuLens® IOL Is No Optical Illusion
The NuLens® is made of a flexible silicon gel that uses the eye’s own muscles to push against the lens. This pushes the gel through an opening within the lens.

Brief summary of newer advanced intraocular lens implants that can possibly restore and maintain clear vision even without glasses and with little risk of developing complications.
I had a patient who really wanted a ReSTOR +3 multifocal IOL but had a dense posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC). Now, a mild PSC is not usually a problem. In his case, however, the cataract had formed a fibrous plaque on the surface of the posterior capsule.
Placing the New Lens into the Eye. Continuing my series on what happens during cataract surgery, we have so far removed the cataract, but still have to place the new lens in the eye.
A look at using silicone polymers that could be injected through a small incision into the capsular bag (this holds the IOL in position) where it would then “cure” or harden into the correct shape.
You’ve now read a summary (by no means exhaustive) of the arguments for and against using a blue-blocking tint in IOLs. So, is it a thumbs up or thumbs down?
