Choosing an intraocular lens (IOL) is one of the most impactful decisions you’ll make during cataract surgery planning. At Eye Surgeons of Indiana in Greenwood, IN, we take time to explain each available lens option so your vision after surgery reflects how you live, work, and spend your time.
What Is an IOL?
An intraocular lens is a permanent, artificial lens implanted in the eye to replace the natural lens affected by cataracts. During surgery, the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a clear implant designed to restore vision.
Depending on the type selected, an IOL may also reduce your reliance on glasses or contact lenses. Because this lens remains in place indefinitely, careful selection is essential.
