IOLens

IOLens is a software and hardware ecosystem in the field of ophthalmology that focuses on intraocular lenses (IOLs). The project provides tools for design, simulation, and planning to help clinicians and researchers select and customize IOLs.

It comprises a cross-disciplinary platform with optical design software using ray tracing to model light through IOLs in patient-specific eye models, a database of IOL geometries (mono-, multifocal, toric, accommodating), and a surgical planning module that integrates biometric measurements (axial length, keratometry) to predict postoperative refractive outcomes. It also supports manufacturing data exchange and regulatory documentation workflows.

Applications include preoperative planning for cataract surgery, evaluation of new IOL designs, education and training, and research into visual outcomes. The platform is intended to improve refractive accuracy, reduce postoperative surprise, and facilitate collaboration among surgeons, designers, and manufacturers.

The term IOLens may be used by multiple vendors or research groups to describe similar capabilities; as such, it is not tied to a single product line. If encountered, readers should review the specific vendor documentation for exact features and compatibility.
