pseudophakia means the eye has an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) in place of the natural crystalline lens. It is most commonly used to describe the outcome after cataract surgery. Clinicians use the term to document lens status during eye exams and in medical records. For patients, it usually means the cloudy natural lens was removed and replaced to improve focusing.
