Intraocular implants have been around for decades and were specifically designed for cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is performed when the crystalline lens turns into a cataract. Cataract development is a normal part of aging. Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed procedure in the elderly population and several million cataract surgeries are performed worldwide each year. Intraocular lens implantation has become the mainstay of treatment following cataract removal since the 1980’s.
