intraocular lenses

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are artificial lenses implanted inside the eye to replace or supplement the eye's natural lens, often after cataract surgery. They help focus light correctly onto the retina, improving vision. IOLs come in various types, including monofocal (for distance vision), multifocal (for multiple distances), and toric (to correct astigmatism). The procedure is typically quick, minimally invasive, and can result in significant visual improvement, reducing the need for glasses. IOLs are durable, biocompatible, and designed to work seamlessly within the eye for many years.
