The objective of this paper was to present the characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and indications of the multifocal intraocular lenses that are currently in use as well as to guide specialists to provide customized management for each type of patients. A search of various publications in the last ten years was made to deepen the knowledge on the characteristics and indications of multifocal intraocular lenses and premium cataract surgery.
