Pseudophakic IOL exchange is a surgical procedure that involves replacing an intraocular lens (IOL) that was implanted during cataract surgery. This procedure is typically performed when patients experience complications such as lens dislocation, lens opacification, or unsatisfactory visual outcomes after cataract surgery.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes the old IOL and replaces it with a new one that is better suited to the patient's needs. The surgery is minimally invasive and is performed on an outpatient basis.
Pseudophakic IOL exchange is highly effective for restoring vision in patients with unsatisfactory IOL implants or complications, offering improved visual clarity and function.
