Intraocular lenses, commonly referred to as IOLs, are artificial devices implanted in the eye to replace the natural lens.
When it comes to vision correction surgeries, LASIK and cataract surgery are among the most frequently discussed.
Cataracts develop as a result of many factors in old age. Most commonly it is because of long standing diabetes. There is deposition of crystalline substances on the lens within the orbit, which gradually causes your lens to harden and lose its flexibility.
