For patients with high refractive errors, outside the range treatable of laser eye surgery, Natural Lens Exchange may reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Since such artificial lenses show an unchangeable focus, the sharpness of before or behind it lying picture points have therefore to be approximate by adjusting glasses.
An important consideration for any type of surgery is the expected results.
A cataract is diagnosed when your natural lens, which focuses light, becomes cloudy.
There is usually no pain associated with this condition, but common symptoms include blurred vision, increased glare, or a “film” sensation over the eye.
Cataract surgery removes your cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL).
We perform a minimally invasive, small-incision, no-stitch cataract surgery called phacoemulsification ("phaco") surgery. Then a tiny incision is made in the eye to make room for a small ultrasonic probe.
Natural Lens Replacement Surgery Natural Lens Replacement Surgery is also referred to as Refractive Lens Exchange, Clear Lens Extraction, Clear Lens Exchange, or Presbyopic Lens Exchange (PRELEX).
This type of elective eye surgery is a practical option for many older people and younger people in some circumstances.
This probe breaks up, or emulsifies, the cloudy lens into tiny pieces.
The pieces are then suctioned out through the probe.
