SLITLAMP PHOTOGRAPHY III: A.C.I.O.L.
HERE IS A SLITLAMP PHOTO OF AN ANTERIOR CHAMBER INTER-OCULAR LENS.

THE AC IOL IS A LENS REPLACEMENT AND RESTS IN THE ANTERIOR CHAMBER OF THE EYE,
IN FRONT OF THE IRIS. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LENS IS HELD INTO PLACE BY TWO PLASTIC
'BRACKETS' (SHOWN IN THE PHOTO AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE LENS ITSELF.) THIS
TYPE OF LEN REPLACEMENT IS NO LONGER AS COMMON AS POSTERIOR CHAMBER INTER
OCULAR LENS (PC IOL), BUT IS (OBVIOUSLY) STILL USED IN SOME CASES.
