An intraocular lens put surgically into the eye to treat myopia is known as a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) (nearsightedness). Because the normal lens of the eye is not altered, it is referred described as "phakic" (Latin for "having a lens"). Pseudophakic intraocular lenses are those that are inserted into eyes after the native lens of the eye has been removed during cataract surgery.

Phakic IOLs are implanted in front of the natural lens for vision correction. They preserve natural lens function and can correct myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. This treatment is available in Croatia.
Advanced technology lenses offer excellent visual acuity and minimal risk of complications. Popular among patients with high refractive errors who are not candidates for LASIK.
