Intraocular Lens: Advancing Vision Restoration and Ophthalmic Care
The evolution of ophthalmic science has brought remarkable advancements in eye care, and one of the most transformative innovations is the Intraocular Lens (IOL). Used primarily in cataract and refractive lens exchange surgeries, intraocular lenses have revolutionized the way vision correction is achieved. They not only restore clarity of vision lost due to cataracts but also reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, offering millions of patients a chance to regain visual independence.
Understanding Intraocular Lenses
An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens implanted in the eye to replace the eye’s natural crystalline lens when it becomes clouded or damaged. The most common reason for implantation is cataract removal—a procedure performed when the natural lens becomes opaque, leading to blurred or impaired vision. After the cloudy lens is removed, the IOL is inserted to restore the eye’s focusing power.
IOLs are…
