Intraocular implants

What are intraocular implants?

Intraocular implants are artificial lenses placed inside the eye to replace the natural lens or correct certain refractive errors. They are primarily used during cataract surgery and, in selected patients, to correct myopia, hyperopia, or other refractive errors.

When is an intraocular implant needed?

Intraocular implants may be recommended during cataract surgery or as an option for certain patients seeking correction of a refractive error. The type of lens depends on eye health, prescription, eye characteristics, and the patient's visual needs.

What specialist places intraocular implants?

The procedure is performed by an ophthalmologist specializing in cataract surgery, refractive surgery, or anterior segment surgery. Before selecting the implant, the specialist performs eye measurements to calculate the appropriate lens power and determine which type of intraocular lens is suitable.
