German term

phakal

German to English Medical Medical: Instruments ophthalmological measurements
It talks about measuring the 'pseudophakale IOL' and the 'phakales Auge'. I have been able to find the term 'phacoid' in connection with eyes, but I do not know whether there is a term such as 'phacal'.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +2 pseudophakic eye
4 phacoid
3 +1 containing the natural lens
3 focal

Note from asker:
Thanks, Chetan. I had not thought of looking for 'phakic'!
Peer comment(s):

agree John Dale D.D. : sorry Chetan, it is not pseudo, it is original lens. By the way "Bushism" only meant so many words when fewer would do :-)

containing the natural lens

rather then having an implant the eye retains the natural (i.e. original) lens.

In my humble opinion.
Peer comment(s):

agree MMUlr : that's the right definition, and phakic is the term (as in Chetan's *pseudophakic").
