What is lens implantation (phakic lenses)?

Dr. Victor Derhartunian explains what a phakic lens implantation is.

Lens implantation with phakic lenses involves the insertion of an additional lens to the natural lens.
This optically corrects the visual defect.
These lenses are usually used either for high visual defects, corneas that are too thin or irregular corneas.
