  2. Phakic intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phakic_intraocular_lens

    The EVO ICL (STAAR® Surgical's phakic IOL) is implanted under pharmacological mydriasis and implanted in the retropupillary position, between the eye's iris and the crystalline lens, using cartridge-injector or forceps. Both eyes can usually be done on the same day. Steroid antibiotic eye drops are usually prescribed for 2–4 weeks after surgery.

  3. Intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens

    A phakic IOL. An intraocular lens (IOL) is a lens implanted in the eye usually as part of a treatment for cataracts or for correcting other vision problems such as near-sightedness (myopia) and far-sightedness (hyperopia); a form of refractive surgery.

  4. Manual small incision cataract surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_small_incision...

    When the posterior capsule is damaged, the IOL may be inserted into the ciliary sulcus, [18] or a glued intraocular lens technique may be applied. [19] It is economical to use a rigid IOL if the incision size is already over 6 mm wide, but foldable IOLs can also be used if cost is not a limiting factor or incision size is <5 mm. [ 4 ]

  5. Refractive surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_surgery

    Refractive surgery is an optional eye surgery used to improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. This can include various methods of surgical remodeling of the cornea ( keratomileusis ), lens implantation or lens replacement.

  6. Iris-fixated intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris-fixated_intraocular_lens

    Iris-fixated intraocular lens is an intraocular lens that is implanted surgically into the eye and attached to the iris. Originally developed for aphakia, phakic versions have also been produced to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. They are suited for correction of eyes where corneal refractive ...

    Approximately half of infections occur within 2 weeks of surgery, but delayed infection do occur up to a year after surgery. [15] Staphylococcus aureus was the most commonly identified bacteria for rapid onset and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common identified bacteria for delayed onset.

  8. International Intra-Ocular Implant Club - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Intra-Ocular...

    The Intra-Ocular Implant Club was founded in 1966 by the English ophthalmic surgeons Sir Harold Ridley and Peter Choyce, [1] to promote research in the field of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] At that time there was widespread opposition in the ophthalmic surgery profession to the use of IOLs. [ 4 ]

  9. Intraocular lens power calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens_power...

    The aim of an accurate intraocular lens power calculation is to provide an intraocular lens (IOL) that fits the specific needs and desires of the individual patient. The development of better instrumentation for measuring the eye's axial length (AL) and the use of more precise mathematical formulas to perform the appropriate calculations have significantly improved the accuracy with which the ...
