This collection of topics explores innovative approaches in cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) technology aimed at improving patient outcomes and reducing postoperative complications. From advanced surgical techniques such as femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) to novel pharmacological interventions targeting lens biomechanics, each topic highlights significant advancements in the field. Additionally, alternative therapies like microincision cataract surgery (MICS), accommodating IOLs, and multifocal/extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs offer personalized solutions to address specific patient needs, enhancing spectacle independence and visual acuity. Furthermore, emerging strategies in drug delivery systems and bioengineered IOLs demonstrate promising potential for targeted and sustained release of therapeutic agents within the eye while minimizing adverse effects. Overall, these topics underscore the interdisciplinary nature of cataract management and the ongoing pursuit of innovation to optimize patient care.
