Currently available accommodating IOLs have their limitations.However, despite the inability to consistently generate large amounts ofaccommodative power, many surgeons have reported excellent resultswith many of these models. The limitations of these technologies shoulddiscourage surgeons from excessively promoting or guaranteeingindependence from glasses following lens implantation. Yet, the potentialbenefits that have been reported should also encourage the ophthalmiccommunity to continue using accommodative IOLs. As with any newtechnology, continued refinements and future developments will benecessary to achieve improved outcomes and to supply patients with theideal lens implant.
