The optimum design solution will depend on different parameters like cost, cosmetic implications, and if the patient can tolerate wearing a contact lens. [citation needed] For reducing aniseikonia, similar to contact lens correction, optical image size difference will be reduced in refractive surgeries also. [5] [6]
Aphakia is the absence of the lens of the eye, due to surgical removal, such as in cataract surgery, a perforating wound or ulcer, or congenital anomaly. It causes a loss of ability to maintain focus (accommodation), high degree of farsightedness (), [1] and a deep anterior chamber.
