Like your eye's natural lens, an IOL focuses light that comes into your eye through the cornea and pupil onto the retina, the sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that relays images through the optic nerve to the brain. Most IOLs are made of a flexible, foldable material and are about one-third of the size of a dime. Like the lenses of prescription eyeglasses, your IOL will contain the appropriate prescription to give you the best vision possible.
Schedule your next eye exam at CT Eye Center, P.C. where Dr. Patrick Albergo and Dr. Duane Austin are available to serve all of your eye health needs with compassion and dedication.
