Manufacturer Directory · Lenses
IOL Manufacturers the companies behind cataract and phakic lenses.
Intraocular lenses come from a short list of companies, each with monofocal, toric and presbyopia-correcting families plus specialty designs. Patients often arrive with a brand name from an ad; this page helps your team place it.
Quick answer
Brand names map to optical designs.
What matters clinically is the optical approach, such as trifocal, non-diffractive EDOF, toric or adjustable, rather than the brand. The table pairs each company with representative lenses so you can translate a patient's question into a design discussion.
Key takeaways
- Alcon, Johnson & Johnson Vision and Bausch + Lomb make broad cataract lens portfolios.
- RxSight makes a lens whose power is adjusted after surgery.
- STAAR Surgical makes phakic lenses implanted in front of the natural lens.
- Most families include toric versions.
- Check current FDA labeling for each model.
