An intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens implanted in the eye to replace the eye's natural lens when it has been removed, most commonly during cataract surgery. IOLs restore vision by focusing light onto the retina, just as the natural lens would. Modern IOLs are made from materials like silicone or acrylic and are designed to be permanent, offering clear vision for a lifetime. There are several types of IOLs available, including monofocal lenses that provide clear vision at one distance (near or far), and multifocal or accommodating lenses that correct vision at multiple distances, reducing the need for eyeglasses.
