title: [To recognize monovision correctly and matching different types of intraocular lenses in two eyes].
abstract: The production of different kinds of novel intraocular lens (IOLs) with various functions plays an active role in improving cataract surgery by providing more choices to meet different clinical demands. However, each type of IOL has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is important to implant two different kinds of IOLs into two eyes of a patient, which can optimize the advantages of these two IOLs and can obtain a better mixing vision. But there are many misunderstandings about how to comprehend the principle of monovision and matching two different types of IOLs. When we consider monovision and matching two different types of IOLs, there are many challenges for us, e.g. to explain to the patients about the difference between expected and practical results, and the psychological adaptation requires a long period; and we should to avoid selection the IOLs blindly and to provide the best results and benefits for the patients.
