  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Yoked prism can move the image away from primary gaze without the need for a constant head tilt or turn. Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A prescription that specifies prism correction will also specify the "base". The base is the thickest part of the lens and is opposite from the apex.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract_surgery

    Cataract surgery is the most common application of lens removal surgery, and is usually associated with lens replacement. It is used to remove the natural lens of the eye when it has developed a cataract, a cloudy area in the lens that causes visual impairment. [4] [10] Cataracts usually develop slowly and can affect one or both eyes. [4]

    Intraocular lens power calculation after refractive surgery. Cataract extraction following refractive surgery poses special problems for the patient and the surgeon because the corneal change as a result of refractive surgery complicates accurate keratometry, a key element of lens implant power calculation. After laser refractive surgery for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_small_incision...

    Manual small incision cataract surgery. Manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) is an evolution of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE); the lens is removed from the eye through a self-sealing scleral tunnel wound. A well-constructed scleral tunnel is held closed by internal pressure, is watertight, and does not require suturing.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cataract_surgery

    In 1753, Samuel Sharp performed the first-recorded surgical removal of the entire lens and lens capsule, equivalent to what became known as intracapsular cataract extraction. The lens was removed from the eye through a limbal incision. [1] At the beginning of the 20th century, the standard surgical procedure was intracapsular cataract ...

  7. Multifocal intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifocal_intraocular_lens

    Multifocal IOLs: achieve near and distance vision by having two (bifocal) or three (trifocal) focal points simultaneously. The function of multifocal IOL depends on the pupil size for refractive types. The concept is based on the principle that the pupil tends to constrict for near tasks, so the central portion of the lens is designed for near ...
