The document discusses intraocular lenses (IOLs), which are artificial lenses implanted in the eyes to replace the crystalline lens after cataract surgery or refractive surgery. It describes the parts and classification of IOLs, including early generation rigid lenses, iris-supported lenses, and later generation flexible foldable lenses. Complications related to IOL implantation and cataract surgery are also reviewed, such as those from regional anesthesia techniques like peribulbar/retrobulbar hemorrhage, and both intraoperative and postoperative complications. Recent advances and the future of IOL technology are mentioned.
