  2. Phakic intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phakic_intraocular_lens

    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.

    If the natural lens is left in the eye, the IOL is known as phakic, otherwise it is a pseudophakic lens (or false lens). Both kinds of IOLs are designed to provide the same light-focusing function as the natural crystalline lens. [1]

    However, phakic patients undergoing trabectome showed a greater reduction in intraocular pressure, compared to patients undergoing phacoemulsification combined with trabectome. These results suggest that phacoemulsification may not have a significant impact on intraocular pressure reduction [39].

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravitreal_injection

    Patient with aphakic (without lens due to cataract surgery), or pseudophakic eye (with implanted lens after removal of natural lens) would have the injection 3.0-3.5 mm posterior to the limbus, while injection to the phakic eye (with natural lens) is done 3.5-4.0 mm posterior to the limbus. [6] An anatomical diagram showing the limbus of the eye.

    Irvine–Gass syndrome, pseudophakic cystoid macular edema or postcataract CME is one of the most common causes of visual loss after cataract surgery. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The syndrome is named in honor of S. Rodman Irvine [ 3 ] [ 4 ] and J. Donald M. Gass .
