Introduction to Intracular Lens (IOL)
An Intraocular Lens (IOL) implant is a synthetic, artificial lens placed inside the eye that replaces the focusing power of a natural lens that is surgically removed. When the natural lens is removed, most of the eye’s focusing ability is lost. In order to restore vision, an IOL lens can be used.

However, if an individual has blurred vision that makes it difficult to do the things that he or she wants and needs to do, it is time to consider cataract surgery.
