What is another word for intraocular lens?
Pronunciation: [ˌɪntɹəɹˈɒkjʊlə lˈɛnz] (IPA) 
Intraocular lens (IOL) is a type of lens that is implanted in the eye during cataract surgery to replace the natural lens. The IOL helps improve vision, and there are different types of IOLs available, including monofocal, toric, and multifocal IOLs. However, there are also several other terms used to refer to IOL, including artificial lens implant, phakic intraocular lens, and pseudophakic intraocular lens. The term cataract lens is sometimes used, as IOLs are typically implanted during cataract surgery. Additionally, the term refractive lens exchange is used when the natural lens is removed and replaced with an IOL to help correct refractive errors.
