What is an IOL Sticker/Invoice?
IOL or Intraocular Lens Sticker is a label found on the packaging of an intraocular lens used during cataract surgery. This sticker has important details about the lens – the name of the manufacturer, model number, material design and the “A” constant, a crucial factor for calculating the lens power.
Why is this necessary?
These stickers help verify the specific lens used during cataract surgery and are required for health insurance claim processing.
Where can this be found?
Invoices and stickers for implants, such as intraocular lenses (IOL) used in cataract surgeries, can typically be obtained from the hospital or the surgeon who performed the procedure. These documents are provided by the manufacturer or supplier of the implant and are included in the patient’s medical file. For health insurance claims, these documents can be requested directly from the hospital’s billing department or the doctor handling your case.
