Implants an artificial iris, the colored ring of the eye, where the natural iris is missing or badly damaged after injury, previous surgery, or a condition present from birth. Restoring that ring cuts the glare and light sensitivity that come from an opening which can no longer narrow, and it also restores the eye's normal appearance.
