2. Ophthalmic viscosurgical device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophthalmic_viscosurgical...

   OVDs can cause excessive post-operative intraocular pressure, particularly if any is left remaining in the eye after surgery. The pressure rise is dose-related. It develops in the first day and will usually resolve spontaneously within three days.

3. Cataract surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract_surgery

   Cataract surgery and IOL implantation have the safest and highest success rates of any eye care-related procedures. As with any type of surgery, however, some level of risk remains. [7] Most complications of cataract surgery do not result in long-term visual impairment, but some severe complications can lead to irreversible blindness. [90]

4. Intraocular lens - Wikipedia

   0.03–0.05% eye infection risk, which in worst case can lead to blindness. (This risk exists in all eye surgery procedures and is not unique to IOLs.) glaucoma, astigmatism, remaining near or far sightedness, rotation of the lens inside the eye one or two days after surgery.

5. Corneal abrasion - Wikipedia

   The appropriate type of protective eyewear depends on the specific circumstances, but all should provide shielding, good visibility, and a comfortable fit. Some examples include polycarbonate glasses or goggles, plastic safety glasses, face shields, and welding helmets. Specifically, welders should use a helmet with a lens that blocks UV light ...

6. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

   Glasses or "spectacles" are corrective lenses worn on the face a short distance in front of the eye. Contact lenses are worn directly on the surface of the eye. Intraocular lenses are surgically implanted most commonly after cataract removal, but recently for purely refractive purposes. Myopia (short sightedness) requires a divergent lens ...

7. 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.

8. History of cataract surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cataract_surgery

   Cataract surgery is the removal of the natural lens of the eye that has developed a cataract, an opaque or cloudy area. [3] Over time, metabolic changes of the crystalline lens fibres lead to the development of a cataract, causing impairment or loss of vision.

9. Capsule of lens - Wikipedia

   Sheep eye lens capsule with ligaments attached. The capsule is lifting off the lens showing cell fiber ends beneath. Microscope image of lens capsule in relation to lens cell types. The lens capsule is a component of the globe of the eye. [1] It is a clear elastic basement membrane similar in composition to other basement membranes in the body.
