Posterior-chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) are synthetic implants placed permanently inside the eye’s posterior chamber to replace a damaged or clouded natural lens, most commonly due to cataracts. These devices restore clear vision by focusing light onto the retina, enabling patients to regain functional sight without relying on external aids like glasses or contact lenses.
These lenses are typically single-use, sterile devices made from materials like plastic or hydrogel, often supplied preloaded into a disposable injector for surgical implantation. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as medical devices and subject to premarket review to ensure safety and performance before clinical use.
