Definition:

Accommodating Intraocular Lens (IOL): This is a type of lens that is implanted in the eye during cataract surgery or to correct vision problems. It is designed with a hinge that allows it to change shape. This means it can help people see clearly at both near and far distances, similar to how a young person's natural lens works.
