A phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) is an intraocular lens that is implanted surgically into the eye to correct refractive errors without removing the natural lens (also known as "phakos", hence the term). Intraocular lenses that are implanted into eyes after the eye's natural lens has been removed during cataract surgery are known as pseudophakic.

Phakic intraocular lens implantation inside the eye can also be used to change refractive errors. The newest type of intervention is a type of PIOL called the implantable collamer lens which uses a biocompatible flexible lens which can be inserted in the eye via a 3 mm incision. The ICL is used to correct myopia ranging from −0.5 to −18 ...
Iris-fixated intraocular lens is an intraocular lens that is implanted surgically into the eye and attached to the iris. Originally developed for aphakia, phakic versions have also been produced to correct myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. They are suited for correction of eyes where corneal refractive ...

However, Dr. Russo says that “flu A usually causes more severe disease than flu B.” Meaning, if you have flu A, your doctor may want to keep a closer eye on you.
If the brain never learns to see objects in detail, then there is a high chance of one eye becoming dominant. The result is that the brain will block the impulses of the non-dominant eye. In contrast, the child with myopia can see objects close to the eye in detail and does learn at an early age to see objects in detail. [medical citation needed]
