Frequently asked questions about intraocular lenses
There are two different types of intraocular lenses which are available. The first type available are phakic lenses. They can be placed in the eye without having to take the eye’s natural lens out and are made of plastic or silicone. The second type of lenses available are pseudophakic lenses. These are placed after the natural eye lens is removed. They can be implemented during cataract surgery. Intraocular lenses are usually made from flexible and foldable material and are about the same size as the original lens. The lenses implanted are usually monofocal intraocular lenses. However, it is also possible for multifocal intraocular lenses or toric intraocular lenses to be implanted.
