 | | Phakic Intraocular Lenses - The New Focus in Refractive Surgery. | | | There is also an FDA approved lens called Crystalens whose position can be changed by the ciliary muscles of the eye, allowing for natural focusing. | | | This is either done surgically with a knife after the lens is inserted, or with a laser a couple of weeks before the lens surgery. |

| | CBF: What is an Intraocular Lens (IOL)? |
| | Cataracts are treated surgically by removing the lens. | | | Without the lens, the incoming light is not properly focused and forms an extremely blurred image on the retina. | | | Normally, light passes through the cornea and pupil and is focused by the lens onto the retina. |

| | The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Program: Intraocular Lens Implantation |
| | They concluded that there is presently a limited role for secondary implantation of intraocular lenses, and they recommended that secondary implantation be limited to older patients who cannot wear contact lenses or spectacles, specifically to persons who are incapacitated by unilateral aphakia and who have a particular personal or occupational need for binocular vision. | | | And, elderly individuals who wear a contact lens for unilateral aphakia, but require cataract surgery in the second eye, may be considered for intraocular lens implantation. | | | It was the consensus of this panel that the use of intraocular lenses is associated with a small but significant risk of additional complications beyond that of cataract surgery itself. |

| | Accommodative Intraocular Lens (IOL) |
| | Accommodative Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation is a surgical procedure to correct presbyopia. | | | The accommodative IOL features a hinged design that allows the lens to move forward as the eye attempts to focus on near objects, restoring some of the accommodative function in presbyopic patients. | | | It differs from other refractive surgical procedures because it involves replacing the natural lens of the eye, not reshaping the cornea. |

| | Posterior dislocation of an intraocular lens (IOL) is an uncommon complication of cataract surgery and Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy. | | | In addition, to place the IOL truly in the sulcus, the suture must be placed 0.8 mm posterior to the limbus in the vertical meridian and 0.46 mm in the horizontal meridian. | | | The effective lens power is probably less than the desired one. |

| | The process resembles that of cataract surgery; however in cataract surgery the lens is clouded, whereas in this surgery, the removed lens is clear. | | | All studies noted a significant increase in best corrected and uncorrected visual acuity postoperatively for the majority of patients and concluded that, with proper preoperative evaluation, this procedure is safe and effective. | | | Studies have demonstrated that the majority of patients achieve significant increase in uncorrected visual acuity (vision without glasses or contacts). |

| | Cataract, Phacoemulsification & Intraocular Lens Implantation |
| | Currently phacoemulsification with a foldable intraocular lens implantation through a 3 mm incision is the most preferred method of cataract surgery and has the best results, all over the world. | | | The lens is the part of the eye that along with cornea helps focus light onto the retina. | | | The greatest advantage of IOL is a clear wide field of vision and the fact that the patient does not have to constantly wear thick glasses. |

| | Intraocular lens implant (IOL) for cataracts |
| | Your brain must learn to select the visual information it needs to form an image of either near or distant objects, so multifocal IOLs may require some adjustment. | | | When thinking about how an IOL will affect your vision following cataract surgery, the two main types of IOL to consider are: | | | If you are considering cataract surgery to replace the lens in your eye(s), you should discuss with your doctor which of the different types of IOL is most likely to work best for you. |

| | Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are commonly used in cataract surgeries to replace the removed lens. | | | The intraocular lens is a dramatic improvement compared to the aphakic glasses both in visual improvement and "ease of use." Unfortunately, the cost of the IOL and the time required by the more technical surgery was a significant impediment to its use in India. | | | Prior to the use of IOLs, patients received very thick glasses, known as aphakic glasses. |
