Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Lens Implantation, Intraocular
Insertion of an artificial lens to replace the natural CRYSTALLINE LENS after CATARACT EXTRACTION or to supplement the natural lens which is left in place.
Phakic Intraocular Lenses
Lenses, generally made of plastic or silicone, that are implanted into the eye in front of the natural EYE LENS, by the IRIS, to improve VISION, OCULAR. These intraocular lenses are used to supplement the natural lens instead of replacing it.
Pseudophakia
Presence of an intraocular lens after cataract extraction.
Aphakia
Absence of crystalline lens totally or partially from field of vision, from any cause except after cataract extraction. Aphakia is mainly congenital or as result of LENS DISLOCATION AND SUBLUXATION.
Lens Cortex, Crystalline
The portion of the crystalline lens surrounding the nucleus and bound anteriorly by the epithelium and posteriorly by the capsule. It contains lens fibers and amorphous, intercellular substance.
Clinical Trials
Safety and Efficacy of a Violet Visible Light Blocking Intraocular Lens (IOL)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new investigational modified light transmission monofocal intraocular lens compared to a conventional intraocular...
Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS)
The primary purpose is to determine whether infants with a unilateral congenital cataract are more likely to develop better vision following cataract extraction surgery if they undergo pri...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Hydrophilic Acrylic Intraocular Lens after cataract surgery
Acrylate Intraocular Lenses in Cataract Surgery of Uveitis Patients
Cataract is a common complication in uveitis patients. Cataract operations with intraocular lens implantation are difficult in these patients because of complication due to the biocompatib...

Pseudoexfoliation on pseudophakos.
We report three patients with deposition of pseudoexfoliation (PXF) material on intraocular lens years after uneventful cataract surgery. PXF was not present before the cataract surgery. The PXF mater...
Refractory cystoid macular oedema due to intraocular lens haptic perforating the iris.
Cystoid macular oedema is a well-known complication of cataract surgery associated with intraocular lens decentration or dislocation. A 55-year-old man, who had undergone a phacoemulsification and int...
Misdiagnosis induced intraocular lens dislocation in anterior megalophthalmos.
Anterior megalophthalmos (AM) is an uncommon developmental anomaly of the anterior segment of the eye with a constellation of findings that includes enlarged cornea, deep anterior chamber, posterior p...
Cataract surgery - essentials for the general practitioner.
Age-related cataracts are mainly caused by life-long accumulation of oxidative stress on the lens fibres. Symptoms include reduced visual acuity, requiring more light for reading, and glare. The only...
