1. Standard IOLs: These are typically monofocal lenses, covered by insurance, that focus at a single distance. Monofocal IOLs do not correct astigmatism and usually provide clear vision at one distance—most commonly for distance vision. Patients receiving monofocal IOLs will require glasses to see clearly at other distances. For instance, if the lens is set for distance vision, near vision will be blurry without reading glasses. Everyday tasks such as reading menus, checking prices, using smartphones or tablets, reading books or newspapers, and applying makeup will likely require the use of glasses or magnifying devices.
