What does it do to improve vision? Is it effective?

The only FDA approved procedure is for lens replacement for the treatment of cataracts. Insertion of an artificial lens into the posterior segment of the eye is not approved and would not improve vision.

Do you mean an implant for cataract surgery? Or had you heard about retinal implants? You have had some good answers about cataract implants.Retinal implants are an experimental treatment for blindness. Light sensitive electrodes are implanted in the retina and provide stimulation to the optic nerve. This is in very early stages of research and so far has been only effective in creating impressions of light or dark, not detail.
