What is another word for monofocal iol?
Pronunciation: [mˈɒnə͡ʊfˌə͡ʊkə͡l ˈa͡ɪɒl] (IPA) 
A monofocal intraocular lens, or IOL, is a type of lens that can only focus on objects at one distance. This means that people who have had cataract surgery with a monofocal IOL may still need to wear glasses to see clearly at other distances. However, there are several synonyms or alternative terms that are used to describe this type of lens. They may be referred to as single-focus IOLs, uni-focal IOLs, or fixed-focus IOLs. These terms all describe the same type of lens that is limited in its ability to focus on objects at different distances. Patients should discuss their lens options with their eye doctor to determine which type of IOL is best suited for their needs.
