Dentistry is a branch of medicine that is involved in the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa, and of adjacent and related structures and tissues, particularly in the maxillofacial (jaw and facial) area.
En EspaÃ±ol Read in Chinese. An intraocular lens implant is a synthetic, artificial lens placed inside the eye that replaces the focusing power of a natural lens that is surgically removed, usually as part of cataract surgery [See figures 1 and 2].
Once this is done, a new lens called an intraocular lens (IOL) is placed. After the cataract is removed, the structure that contains it is kept, namely the lens capsule. A cataract is like a pea in a pod and the capsule is like the pod. The pea is removed and the pod is left behind.
