   Cataract surgery, also called lens replacement surgery, is the removal of the natural lens of the eye that has developed a cataract, an opaque or cloudy area. The eye's natural lens is usually replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) implant.

3. Phakic intraocular lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phakic_intraocular_lens

   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.

4. Intraocular lens power calculation - Wikipedia

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

   Intraocular lens power calculation 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 ...

5. Phacoemulsification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phacoemulsification

   Phacoemulsification is a cataract surgery method in which the internal lens of the eye which has developed a cataract is emulsified with the tip of an ultrasonic handpiece and aspirated from the eye. Aspirated fluids are replaced with irrigation of balanced salt solution to maintain the volume of the anterior chamber during the procedure. This procedure minimises the incision size and reduces ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phacolytic_glaucoma

   The aim of cataract surgery is to replace the lens within the eye with an artificial lens to clear vision while removing any residue which could cloud vision. The cataract extraction surgery involves four major steps which includes; local anaesthetic, clearing of eye, intraocular lens is inserted and finally the contact lens to protect the eye ...

7. Intraocular lens - Wikipedia

   Intraocular lens. 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 short sightedness and long sightedness; 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 ...
