Presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens options in myopic eyes undergoing cataract surgery: Sang Beom Han; Insights Cataract Refract Surg 2026;11(1):1-8. Published online February 26, 2026; DOI: https://doi.org/10.63375/icrs.25.016

Abstract PDF ePub: With ongoing advancements in surgical techniques and intraocular lens (IOLs) technologies, cataract surgery is increasingly recognized as a form of refractive procedure aimed at enhancing overall visual performance rather than being viewed solely as lens extraction. In parallel with this shift, a growing number of aging individuals with myopia are actively seeking spectacle independence following cataract surgery. The selection of IOLs for presbyopia correction in patients with myopia presents distinct clinical and refractive challenges, necessitating careful preoperative evaluation and individualized surgical planning. In this review, the author summarizes current evidence regarding the use of various IOLs, including monofocal, enhanced monofocal, extended depth-of-focus, and multifocal IOLs, for presbyopia correction in myopic patients and discusses key considerations involved in selecting the most appropriate IOL for this specific population.

Selection of an optimal intraocular lens according to the stage of epiretinal membrane: Sang Beom Han; Insights Cataract Refract Surg 2025;10(1):7-12. Published online February 28, 2025; DOI: https://doi.org/10.63375/icrs.25.003

Abstract PDF ePub: Epiretinal membrane (ERM), one of the most common retinal diseases, can cause various degrees of visual disturbance, reduced contrast sensitivity, and metamorphopsia. ERM is not infrequently encountered during preoperative evaluations for cataract surgery, and selecting an appropriate intraocular lens (IOL) according to the location and stage of ERM is necessary in order to improve visual outcomes and patients’ satisfaction. This review summarizes the application of various IOLs—such as multifocal, extended depth of focus, and enhanced monofocal IOLs—in eyes with ERM, and discusses the selection of an appropriate IOL.
