About intraocular lens (IOL):
In the human eyeball, the organ corresponding to the "lens" responsible for focusing in the case of a camera is called "crystalline lens". Although the crystalline lens is initially transparent, cataract is a disease in which general visual function such as visual acuity deteriorates due to its opacity by aging, complications of other diseases, and trauma. There is no effective medication for cataract. It is common to recover the visual function by surgically removing the opacified crystalline lens and replacing it with an IOL made of resin.
