aphakic
adj. suffering from aphakia, lacking a natural lens on the eye


Wikipedia English The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Aphakia
Aphakia is the absence of the lens of the eye, due to surgical removal, a perforating wound or ulcer, or congenital anomaly. It causes a loss of accommodationhyperopia, and a deep anterior chamber. Complications include detachment of the vitreous or retina, and glaucoma.Aphakic people are reported to be able to see ultraviolet wavelengths that are normally excluded by the lens. This may have had an effect on the colors perceived by artist Claude Monet, who had cataract surgery in 1923.
