Purpose of review To evaluate the growing body of evidence investigating implanting a different intraocular lens (IOL) in each eye. Recent findings Many surgeons have turned to the mix-and-match approach of implanting two different types of IOLs with the goal of achieving an improved range of distances. A number of studies have compared different types of mix-and-match IOL approaches, with promising results that seem to show maintenance of excellent vision at all distances, and high levels of spectacle independence. Summary The mix-and-match IOL approach appears to be a promising option for patients, maintaining good vision at all distances, especially near and intermediate, which is highly desired by patients. Few studies also showed intriguing secondary endpoints such as decreased unwanted visual phenomena using this method.
