Question

which term means \surgical removal of the lens\?

lensectomy
intraocular lens
keratoplasty
keratotomy

Explanation:

• Lensectomy: The suffix "-ectomy" means surgical removal. So, lensectomy means surgical removal of the lens.
• Intraocular lens: This is a type of lens implanted in the eye, not a surgical removal term.
• Keratoplasty: Refers to surgical repair or replacement of the cornea (not the lens).
• Keratotomy: Involves making incisions in the cornea (not related to lens removal).

Answer:

lensectomy
