title: Technology and Intraocular Lenses to Enhance Cataract Surgery Outcomes-Annual Review (January 2013 to January 2014).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article is aimed to provide a clinical update on recent developments in cataract surgical techniques, with specific focus on femtosecond laser technology. The article also focuses on recent improvements in the technology used in implanting intraocular lenses (IOLs).
  
  
  METHODS
  Literature review.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors conducted a review of literature available in the last 12 months in the English language using PubMed. The period used to conduct the literature search was from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2013. The following search terms were used during the PubMed search: phacoemulsification, femtosecond laser, toric IOLs, multifocal IOLs, multifocal toric IOLs, manual small-incision cataract surgery, outcomes, surgically induced astigmatism, rotational stability, trifocal IOLs, laser cataract surgery, safety, and efficacy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This review incorporates selected original articles that provide fresh insights and updates on the fields of toric and multifocal IOLs, femtosecond laser cataract surgery, and manual small-incision cataract surgery. Particular attention has been paid to observational, randomized controlled clinical trials, experimental trials, and analyses of larger cohorts with prospective and retrospective study designs. Letters to the editor, unpublished works, and abstracts do not fall under the purview of this review.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This review is not designed to be all-inclusive. It highlights and provides insights on literature that is most useful and applicable to practicing ophthalmologists.
