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].
An intraocular lens implant is usually placed in the eye after cataract surgery and may occasionally become malpositioned or dislocated. This may occur as the result of trauma at the time of surgery, previous trauma to the eye that damaged the natural lens or becasue of a systemic disease.
