2. Clear lens extraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_lens_extraction

   Clear lens extraction, also known as refractive lensectomy, custom lens replacement or refractive lens exchange is a surgical procedure in which clear lens of the human eye is removed. Unlike cataract surgery , where the cloudy lens is removed to treat a cataract , clear lens extraction is done to surgically correct refractive errors such as ...

3. Manual small incision cataract surgery - Wikipedia

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

   Posterior capsular rupture, a tear in the posterior capsule of the natural lens, is the most-common complication during cataract surgery. [8] Posterior capsule rupture can cause lens fragments to be retained, corneal oedema, and cystoid macular oedema ; it is also associated with increased risk of endophthalmitis and retinal detachment.

4. Cataract surgery - Wikipedia

   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 .

5. Retroreflector - Wikipedia

   Commercial retroreflective beads thus vary in index from around 1.5 (common forms of glass) up to around 1.9 (commonly barium titanate glass). The spherical aberration problem with the spherical cat's eye can be solved in various ways, one being a spherically symmetrical index gradient within the sphere, such as in the Luneburg lens design ...

6. Refractive surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_surgery

   Refractive surgery is an optional eye surgery used to improve the refractive state of the eye and decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. This can include various methods of surgical remodeling of the cornea ( keratomileusis ), lens implantation or lens replacement.

7. Phakic intraocular lens - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phakic_intraocular_lens

   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.
