Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are long-term, artificial lenses that can restore both near and far vision by swapping out the eye's native lens. IOLs are most frequently used in cataract surgery to replace the damaged lens. One of the most accomplished and complete vision care institutions in the world is the Laser Center for Vision Care at UT Southwestern. For the best results for our patients, our nationally renowned physicians integrate cutting-edge technologies with the highest standards in medicine. The first Intraocular Lens, constructed of polymethyl methacrylate, was implanted on November. The surgeon Harold Ridley's name became associated with innovation in ocular surgery thanks to the lenses, which were produced by Rayner in the UK1. Following extra-capsular cataract extraction, a disc-shaped lens was placed in the posterior chamber (ECCE).
