Abstract
An in-depth review of the current status of soft intraocular lenses (IOLs) is presented. We have outlined the historical aspects of IOL development from polymethylmethacrylate material to newer soft polymers such as silicones and hydrogels. Chemical, physical, and biomaterial properties as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these materials and lenses are discussed. Clinical results from international investigators are presented, along with some thoughts about future trends in small incision cataract surgery and IOL substitutes.Keywords
