Monofocal intraocular lenses are the most common standard way of treating cataracts.

When solely treating cataracts, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a new artificial lens. Your vision is usually improved immediately or on the day after the procedure.

Your ophthalmologist will establish the values for your artificial lens based on your eye’s measurements. Generally, a standard cataract operation will correct short-sightedness, so you will no longer need distance glasses.

It is not possible to correct more complex visual disorders such as presbyopia using these monofocal lenses. Toric monofocal lenses are available to correct astigmatism. Your doctor will be able to advise you in detail.

Standard monofocal lenses enable optimal vision without glasses in the distance.

Depending on your individual situation, you will need glasses for intermediate and/or near vision even after your cataract surgery.

Standard IOLs from Teleon

With LENTIS and ACUNEX, Teleon offers your ophthalmologist two very good modern standard IOLs.

Quantum IOLs are enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses designed for patients who would like more visual comfort in everyday life while maintaining the visual characteristics of a standard monofocal lens.

Quantum IOLs provide more than distance vision alone and extend vision up to the intermediate area compared with standard monofocal IOLs.

In contrast to a comfort IOL, the primary focus is not on achieving the highest possible level of spectacle independence, but on combining sharp and high-contrast vision with improved visual comfort in everyday life. Reading glasses may still be required for near vision.

Like a conventional monofocal intraocular lens, a Quantum IOL provides sharp and high-contrast vision.

In addition, its enhanced optical design provides increased depth of focus and more vision up to the intermediate area compared with standard monofocal IOLs. Activities such as working on a computer, shopping or looking at the dashboard while driving may become more comfortable.

With ACUNEX Quantum and LENTIS Quantum, Teleon offers two modern enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses. 

For patients with corneal astigmatism, LENTIS Quantum toric combines the benefits of Quantum technology with astigmatism correction, enabling the treatment of cataract and astigmatism at the same time.

Discuss with your ophthalmologist which intraocular lens is best suited to your individual visual needs.
