An intraocular lens (IOL) is an implanted lens in the eye, usually replacing the existing crystalline lens because it has been clouded over by a cataract, or as a form of refractive surgery to change the eye's optical power. It usually consists of a small plastic lens with plastic side struts, called haptics, to hold the lens in place within the capsular bag inside the eye.[citation needed] IOLs were traditionally made of an inflexible material (PMMA), although this has largely been superseded by the use of flexible materials. Most IOLs fitted today are fixed monofocal lenses matched to distance vision. However, other types are available, such as multifocal IOLs which provide the patient with multiple-focused vision at far and reading distance, and adaptive IOLs which provide the patient with limited visual accommodation.

intraoculaire lens (IOL) implantaatlens kunstlens Een intraoculaire lens (IOL), ook wel implantaatlens of kunstlens genoemd, is een in het menselijk oog geïmplanteerde kunstlens, die gewoonlijk de oorspronkelijke lens vervangt omdat deze troebel is geworden ten gevolge van een cataract, of die deze lens aanvult om sterke lensafwijkingen te corrigeren. Hij bestaat gewoonlijk uit een lensje van kunststof, met twee plastic armpjes om hem binnen het lenskapsel op zijn plaats te houden. Oorspronkelijk werden IOL’s gemaakt van niet-flexibel materiaal (polymethylmethacrylaat (PMMA), ook bekend onder handelsnamen als Perspex, Plexiglas, e.d.), maar tegenwoordig worden er meer flexibele materialen voor gebruikt. De meeste IOL’s hebben een vaste sterkte, geschikt voor veraf zien. Maar er zijn ook IOL’s met meerdere sterktes, bijv. voor veraf zien én voor lezen. Ook zijn accommoderende IOL’s in ontwikkeling, waarmee men tot op zekere hoogte kan scherpstellen, vergelijkbaar met de oorspronkelijke ooglens.

"a manual usually accompanying a technical device and explaining how to install or operate it" Essential Requirements - Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC - Annex I, 13.1: Each device must be accompanied by the information needed to use it safely and to identify the manufacturer, taking account of the training and knowledge of the potential user. This information comprises the details on the label and the data in the instructions for use. As far as practicable and appropriate, the information needed to use the device safely must be set out on the device itself and/or on the packaging of each unit. If not practicable, the information must be set out in the leaflet supplied with one or more devices. Instructions for use must be included in the packaging for every device. By way of exception, no such instruction leaflet is needed for devices in Class I or Class IIa if they can be used completely safely without any such instructions.
