   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]

   In 2009, Praputsorn Kosakarn described a method for manual fragmentation of the lens, called "double-nylon loop", which consists in splitting the lens into three pieces for extraction, allowing a smaller, sutureless incision of 4.0 to 5.0 mm (0.16 to 0.20 in), and requires implantation of a foldable IOL. This technique uses less expensive ...

9. 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.
