lens implant

Surgical vision correction

A lens implant is an artificial lens surgically placed in the eye, typically to replace a natural lens clouded by cataracts or to correct severe vision problems.

The procedure is one of the most common surgeries worldwide: My grandmother had lens implants in both eyes and no longer needs glasses for distance.
