Presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs) continue to evolve, offering patients a range of visual outcomes tailored to their needs. But with so many options available, how can clinicians effectively evaluate and select the best IOL for each case?

In this new eLearning course, Dr. Joaquín Fernández introduces an evidence-based functional classification system for simultaneous vision lenses. Drawing on defocus curve data already published in the literature, this classification provides a structured way to group IOLs with similar visual profiles—ultimately supporting better surgical planning and patient outcomes.

What You’ll Learn:

By completing this course, you will be able to:

• Grasp the clinical value of an evidence-based approach to classifying simultaneous vision IOLs.

• Distinguish between lens types—including partial range and full range of field lenses—based on their visual performance.

• Understand how optical design elements like spherical aberrations and profilometry influence outcomes.

• Follow best practices for measuring and interpreting visual acuity.

• Apply a systematic, comparative approach to IOL evaluation to make more confident, evidence-driven decisions.

Whether you’re optimizing your IOL selection process or seeking a deeper understanding of how design translates to vision, this course equips you with practical tools backed by data.

Access the course today and take a step toward more consistent, patient-centered outcomes.
