Intraocular lens (IOL) is a lens implanted in the eye used to treat cataracts or myopia. The most common type of IOL is the pseudophakic IOL. These are implanted during cataract surgery, after the cloudy crystalline lens (otherwise known as a cataract) has been removed. The pseudophakic IOL replaces the original crystalline lens, and provides the light focusing function originally undertaken by the crystalline lens. The second type of IOL, more commonly known as a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), is a lens which is placed over the existing natural lens, and is used in refractive surgery to change the eye"s optical power as a treatment for myopia, or nearsightedness. IOL usually consist of a small plastic lens with plastic side struts, called haptics, to hold the lens in place within the capsular bag inside the eye. IOL were conventionally made of an inflexible material (PMMA), although this has largely been superseded by the use of flexible materials. Most IOL fitted today are fixed monofocal lenses matched to distance vision. However, other types are available, such as multifocal IOL which provide the patient with multiple-focused vision at far and reading distance, and adaptive IOL which provide the patient with limited visual accommodation.
