Posterior-chamber phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs) are synthetic implants placed inside the eye’s natural lens area to correct vision issues like nearsightedness or farsightedness without removing the existing lens. These devices restore clear vision by bending light properly, offering an alternative to glasses or contact lenses for eligible patients with stable refractive errors.
These lenses are typically regulated as medical devices, with classification and supply rules varying by country. They are often supplied as part of a surgical kit, including tools like injectors, and may require professional fitting and implantation by an ophthalmologist. Regulations ensure safety, performance, and compatibility with the eye’s anatomy.
