Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are routinely used to replace cataractous crystalline lenses. Most current models have a biconvex design that reduces optical quality in the periphery since they are optimized only for central vision. Inverted meniscus IOLs are optimized to achieve similar optical performance to phakic eyes in the peripheral retina.

Justice-involved individuals who reach the end of their full prison sentence no longer benefit from the supervision and rehabilitation services offered by probation or parole.
