A lens implant, often used in cataract surgery, involves replacing the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). During the procedure, the cloudy natural lens is removed, and the IOL is inserted into the eye, where it helps focus light onto the retina, restoring clear vision. These implants can be tailored to correct various refractive errors, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, and may be designed for multifocal vision to reduce the need for glasses. The lens is typically made of biocompatible materials, ensuring safety and durability within the eye.

What is the cpt code for extracapsular cataract extraction with insertion of posterior chamber lens implant?
The CPT code for extracapsular cataract extraction with insertion of a posterior chamber lens implant is 66984. This code is used to describe the surgical procedure where the cataract is removed and an intraocular lens is implanted in the posterior chamber of the eye. It is important to ensure that the code is applied correctly based on the specific details of the procedure performed.
What is pseudophakia?
it means you have implants after cataract surgery.
Why is it necessary for the person with this implant to have function in the auditory nerves?

How long does the contraceptive implant work?
To make the contraceptive implant stop working, have it removed. You will have immediate return to fertility.
Can you have lasik surgery after lens implant for cataracts?
Yes, LASIK can be used to "fine tune" the results of cataract surgery with lens implants. This is best performed after the eye has stabilized and after YAG laser capsulotomy if it is required. It is especially valuable to have LASIK after the newer implants that are multifocal such as the Alcon Restore lens, so that the special optics will work properly.
What is pseudophakic?
When an eye is pseudophakic, the natural lens has been surgically removed and replaced by an artificial lens - an implant. These days the implant procedure is undertaken as soon as the opaque lens (cataract) is removed. Before this combined procedure became widely popular, with the introduction of artificial lenses, the natural lens was removed and the vision was corrected with spectacles and contact lenses- the eye being known as aphakic. *Please read senile cataracts, traumatic cataracts and congenital cataracts.
Will a 35mm camera lens work on a camcorder?
It depends if the camcorder has the physical settings to attach the lens.
Will the Canon 35-80mm lens work with the Canon t1i?
Yes. If the lens is a EF or EF-S lens, it should work fine with the t1i
Can hyperopia be corrected with lens implant?
Yes, hyperopia (farsightedness) can be corrected with a lens implant, commonly known as an intraocular lens (IOL). During a surgical procedure, the IOL is placed in the eye to help focus light correctly on the retina, improving vision. This option is often considered for individuals with significant hyperopia or those who are not suitable candidates for laser vision correction. Regular eye exams and consultations with an eye care professional can help determine the best approach for correction.
