    Total hypermetropia: It is the total amount of hyperopia which is obtained after complete relaxation of accommodation using cycloplegics like atropine. Latent hyperopia: It is the amount of hyperopia normally corrected by ciliary tone (approximately 1 diopter). Manifest hyperopia: It is the amount of hyperopia not corrected by ciliary tone ...

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

    Cataract extraction following refractive surgery poses special problems for the patient and the surgeon because the corneal change as a result of refractive surgery complicates accurate keratometry, a key element of lens implant power calculation. After laser refractive surgery for myopia, this could result in overestimation of corneal power ...

    Intraocular lenses that are implanted into eyes after the eye's natural lens has been removed during cataract surgery are known as pseudophakic. Phakic intraocular lenses are indicated for patients with high refractive errors when the usual laser options for surgical correction (LASIK and PRK) are contraindicated.

    Before surgery (natural crystalline lens, left). After surgery (implanted PCIOL, right). An anterior chamber IOL (ACIOL) Posterior chamber IOL (PCIOL). This is by far the most common type of implanted lens after cataract surgery, as this is the natural and optimum position for a lens. [citation needed] Anterior chamber IOL (ACIOL). A less ...

    Posterior capsular opacification, also known as after-cataract, is a condition in which months or years after successful cataract surgery, vision deteriorates or problems with glare and light scattering recur, usually due to thickening of the back or posterior capsule surrounding the implanted lens, so-called 'posterior lens capsule opacification'.
