Figure 1 Heparin Coated Yellow intraocular lens (CT Lucia 621PY, Carl Zeiss, Germany). The black highlight all around the intraocular lens denotes a surface coating of heparin which facilitates its unfolding within the capsular bag.

Figure 2 Progressive Polyfocal intraocular lens with GRIN technology (Spirant Autofocus Pro, Lifeline Medical Devices Private Limited, India). A: Design features of the intraocular lens (IOL); B: Demonstration of polyfocal ringless GRIN Technology and L-loop haptics with zig-zag edges (green arrows). The dialing holes are position indicators to be kept in the upper half of the eye; they also help to drain remaining retro-IOL viscoelastic (red arrows); C: Disadvantages of conventional IOLs that are overcome by the oval optic diameter of 7.2 mm and larger optic size. IOL: Intraocular lens.
