IOL +21 fred hallo lens
- An "intraocular lens" literally means a lens placed inside the eye. It's often referred to simply as an IOL. It is a precisely designed and crafted tiny piece of plastic that is used to replace the natural lens of the eye. The exchange of a natural lens affected by cataract with an IOL happens during a microsurgical procedure called cataract surgery. During surgery, the eye gains a synthetic lens that is unclouded by cataract.
- Cataracts commonly occur as a part of ageing. However, when very young children develop cataract, cataract surgery may be performed without implanting an IOL. This is because their eyes are still growing and connections to and within the brain are still developing. The child is provided with appropriate glasses and an ophthalmologist monitors their progress and decides when to implant an IOL at a second surgical procedure.
- The IOL’s shape and size are designed to fit perfectly inside the lens capsule. A stable and centered IOL provides the best chance of correct focus and clear vision.
