Frequently Asked Questions
13. What happens to the lens?
After the natural lens has been removed, it usually is replaced by
an artificial lens, called an intraocular lens, or an IOL. An IOL
is a clear, plastic lens that requires no care and becomes a
permanent part of your eye. Light is focused clearly by the IOL
onto the retina, improving your vision. You will not feel or see
the new lens. (Answer continues on next page.)
