Which vision problem may be corrected with an IOL (Intraocular Lens)?

  1. A. Glaucoma

  2. B. Myopia

  3. C. Astigmatism

  4. D. Cataracts

The correct answer is: D. Cataracts

An Intraocular Lens (IOL) is a type of lens that is implanted in the eye during cataract surgery to replace the eye's natural lens that has become clouded by a cataract. Therefore, the vision problem that may be corrected with an IOL is cataracts. Glaucoma, myopia, and astigmatism are different vision problems that are not typically corrected with an Intraocular Lens (IOL). These conditions may require other forms of treatment such as eye drops, eyeglasses, or contact lenses to manage the vision issues associated with them.
