A monofocal IOL (intraocular lens) is an artificial lens implanted in the eye during cataract surgery. 👁️ It's designed to provide clear vision at one specific distance, usually far away. Think of it as replacing your eye's natural lens with a fixed-focus lens. Unlike multifocal IOLs, it only corrects vision at one range, requiring glasses for other distances. Imagine it as setting your camera to one specific focus. 📷
