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. If the natural lens is left in the eye, the IOL is known as phakic, otherwise it is a pseudophakic lens (or ...
A major drawback for such systems is the relative ease with which the 16-digit ID number contained in a chip implant can be obtained and cloned using a hand-held device, a problem that has been demonstrated publicly by security researcher Jonathan Westhues [68] and documented in the May 2006 issue of Wired magazine, [69] among other places.
The patient is given a topical treatment. [5] Following the surgery, the artificial iris may become misaligned or partially dislocated. This happens when the sutures become loose or if the patient had previous eye trauma around the implantation site that makes the implant fit loosely. The implant is realigned and given a new suture.

A phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) is an intraocular lens that is implanted surgically into the eye to correct refractive errors without removing the natural lens (also known as "phakos", hence the term). Intraocular lenses that are implanted into eyes after the eye's natural lens has been removed during cataract surgery are known as pseudophakic.
Implants - •Intraocular lens: prosthetic lenses implanted after lens (anatomy) removal •Artificial eyes: as non-functional cosmetic implants into the eye socket Blade breaker: to break disposable blade after use to prevent reuse Thermo-cautery: to coagulate blood vessels and prevent haemorrhage: Cryoprobe: to freeze and extract the lens
An example of the Landolt C eye chart (also known as the Japanese eye chart). Numerous types of eye charts exist and are used in various situations. For example, the Snellen chart is designed for use at 6 meters or 20 feet, and is thus appropriate for testing distance vision, while the ETDRS chart is designed for use at 4 meters. [16]
