| Glued intraocular lens | |
|---|---|
 Case with a Coloboma of the lens. Notice the lens in the center is half moon shaped as the rest of the lens has not developed. In such cases one can remove the entire lens and fix a glued IOL |
In ophthalmology, glued intraocular lens[1] or glued IOL is a surgical technique for implantation, with the use of biological glue, of a posterior chamber IOL (intraocular lens) in eyes with deficient or absent posterior capsules. A quick-acting surgical fibrin sealant derived from human blood plasma,[2][3] with both hemostatic and adhesive properties, is used.
