Are intraocular lens implants to restore good vision a permanent cure?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
For cataract surgery: When we perform cataract surgery we remove the lens of the eye. In order for the patient to see the lens needs to be replaced. The replacement lens is the intraocular lens implant. This lens implant is permanent and should not need to be replaced in the future.
