• Aphakia — An ocular medical condition characterized by the absence of the crystalline lens from the structure of the eyeball, most commonly occurring following surgical removal due to cataracts or, more rarely, resulting from severe trauma or congenital anomalies. This structural defect induces a severe reduction in focusing ability (a major refractive error) and the complete loss of visual accommodation, requiring correction via an intraocular lens implant, specialized contact lenses, or high-diopter eyeglasses.
