99% of the time the IOL implanted at the time of cataract surgery is the one that the patient will look through for life. However in rare cases we sometimes need to perform an IOL exchange.

Note that in some cases of a calcified / opacified IOL, the material can become harder and more difficult to cut or even bend / fold / twist.
Is that a buratto forceps ?
