3. Parts of an IOL
• OPTIC
Part of the lens that focuses
light on the retina.
• HAPTIC
Small filaments connected to
the optic that hold the lens in
HAPTIC OPTIC
4. TYPES OF IOL
Based on the method of
fixation in the eye
1. Anterior chamber implantation
2.
5. 2. Iris- fixated lens
•Fixed on the iris with
claws,loops or sutures
•Eg- Singh and Worst’s iris
claw lens
13. Calculation of IOL Power
SRK formula {Sanders,Retzlaff,Kraff}
P= A-2.5L-0.9K
P: power of lens
A: constant for specific lens
L: axial length of eyeball
K: average corneal curvature
14. Primary vs secondary implantation
•Primary implantation – use of IOLs during surgery for
cataract
• Secondary implantation – implantation of IOL to correct
aphakia in a previosly operated eye
