href=\"https:\/\/www.cheapmedicineshop.com\/blog\/eyecare\/types-of-lenses-for-cataract-surgery\/\" target=\"_blank\">types of lenses for Cataract surgery<\/a>: multifocal IOLs, monofocal IOLs, Accommodating IOLs, Toric IOLs, and the Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) IOLs.<br><br>The multifocal lens has several vision correction zones and can <a

rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">improve<\/a> both near and distant vision.<br><br>These lenses work similarly to multifocal eyeglasses and can even fix intermediate

rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">change<\/a> their shape in one\u2019s eyes and can help in focusing on several distances.<br><br>Toric lenses can help treat both Cataracts and post-surgery Astigmatism (uneven curving of the cornea).<br><br>People who use Extended Depth of Focus lenses can get a clearer vision for several distances since the lens can change the movement of light.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-is-cataract-surgery-done\">How is Cataract Surgery Done<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Firstly, doctors use topical anesthesia to numb the eye area, and it helps in preventing any pain during the surgery.<br><br>After this process, surgeons make a small incision or cut in the cornea using a laser or blade.<br><br>In common surgical procedures like Phacoemulsification, ultrasound waves break up the Cataracts.<br><br>After breaking up the Cataract, the Cataract pieces are vacuumed out.<br><br>In the case of ECCE, the surgeon removes only the affected part of the lens and replaces it with an artificial lens.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-between-cataract-surgery-on-each-eye\">How Long Between Cataract Surgery on Each Eye<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheapmedicineshop.com\/blog\/eyecare\/how-long-between-cataract-surgery-on-each-eye\/\" target=\"_blank\">time between Cataract surgery on each eye<\/a> depends on the individual\u2019s health and their surgeon.<br><br>It is usually best to conduct the surgery for the other eye only after the first one has healed properly.<br><br>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6475349\/#:~:text=The%20waiting%20time%20between%20first,range%20of%209%E2%80%93254%20days.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"
