Both kinds of IOLs are designed to provide the same light-focusing function as the natural crystalline lens. [1] This can be an alternative to LASIK, but LASIK is not an alternative to an IOL for treatment of cataracts.
Phakic intraocular lenses are indicated for patients with high refractive errors when the usual laser options for surgical correction (LASIK and PRK) are contraindicated. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Phakic IOLs are designed to correct high myopia ranging from −5 to −20 D if the patient has enough anterior chamber depth (ACD) of at least 3 mm. [ 3 ]

The first and fourth Purkinje images are used by some eye trackers, devices to measure the position of an eye.
