Abstract: The visual quality after cataract surgery has continuously improved, which is closely related to the continuous improvement and refinement of intraocular lens (IOL) materials and functional design. In terms of material selection, a series of new materials have emerged, such as silicone, hydrogel, and hydrophilic acrylic. In terms of functional design, various trifocal IOLs, adjustable, depth of field extension, astigmatism correction, etc. have been introduced. The Symfony extended range of vision IOL can provide clear and high-quality full range vision for elderly patients, while the ZMB00 multifocal IOL has better near vision. Personalized IOL selection should be performed based on the different needs of patients in order to achieve precise treatment. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2023, 47:  536-541)
