Intraocular Lenses suppliers and exporters

An intraocular lenses (IOL) is an implanted lens in the eye, usually
replacing the existing crystalline lens because it has been clouded over by a cataract,
or as a form of refractive surgery to change the eye's optical power. It usually
consists of a small plastic lens with plastic side struts, called haptics, to hold
the lens in place within the capsular bag inside the eye. Intra Ocular Lenses were
traditionally made of an inflexible material (PMMA) although this has largely been
superseded by the use of flexible materials. Most Intra Ocular Lenses fitted today
are fixed monofocal lenses matched to distance vision. However, other types are
available, such as multifocal IOLs which provide the patient with multiple-focused
vision at far and reading distance, and adaptive IOLs which provide the patient
with limited visual accommodation.
Intraocular Lenses implantation carries several risks associated
with eye surgeries, such as infection, loosening of the lens, lens rotation, inflammation,
night time halos. Though IOLs enable many patients to have reduced dependence on
glasses, most patients still rely on glasses for certain activities, such as reading.
