title: [Comparison of intraocular lenses--a review].
abstract: The wide array of intraocular lenses (IOLs) commercially available today makes it a formidable challenge to choose the most appropriate lens for the patient. Many wonder whether there truly are clinical differences among various IOLs. This update traces the evolution of IOLs in response to the widespread acceptance of phacoemulsification, and discusses the respective advantages and disadvantages of the IOLs available today based on clinical investigations.
