An intraocular lens (IOL) implant is a synthetic and artificial lens that is placed inside the eye as a replacement for natural lens.

But for near and intermediate vision patient need glasses.

Symfony and Trifocals
Unique lens which not only provides clear vision for distance, intermediate vision without glare but also provides very good amount of near vision.
Toric IOLs
An eye can have spherical power (due to the natural lens within the eye) and cylinder power (due to asymmetry in the curve of the cornea).
Monofocal and Multifocal Lenses can only correct the spherical power of the eye leaving behind the cylinder power which has to be later corrected by giving power glasses. Toric Lenses can correct both spherical and cylinder components of the eye.
Toric lenses are advised if you have a high pre-existing cylinder power in your eye.
